Q26) Mr. Roy, a Mathematics teacher explained some key points of unit 1 of class IX to his
students. Some are given here.
• There are infinite rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
• Rationalisation of a denominator means to change the irrational denominator to
rational form.
• A number is irrational if its decimal form is non-terminating non-recurring.

 On the basis of these key points, he asked the following questions to class. Can you
help the class to solve these questions.
i) What is the reciprocal of 4 - √15 with rational denominator? (1) (AO2)
ii) Is 2.201200120001…… a rational number? Give reasons. (1) (AO2)
iii) A vehicle started from point A with speed as a irrational number 50√2 km/hr
to reach point B. Distance between points A and B is given by a rational
number 350km . Tell whether the time will be given by a rational number or
irrational number. Given reasons. (2) (AO2)
Q27) Two girls were playing with numbers to test each others concept by asking each other
riddles with numbers.
Rohini says “ A number x when raised to the power 5 of its 5th root, multiplied to its 5th root
4
and the resultant is again multiplied to its power raised to then the result is 25.”

Q29) Games are necessary for health and proper development of body. In residential societies
also, clubs are there to keep the people fit and healthy according to their interest. In
“Vinayaka society” there are 99 flats in which some of the flats have senior citizens who do
not participate in club activities and do not give any fund for it. In 76 of the flats, 15.75%
people have chose badminton as their activity, remaining have their interest in cricket. On the
basis of above information answer the following questions:

i) What is the decimal form of flats which are not giving any funds and not joined
any club? (2) (AO2)

ii) What will be 𝑞 form of people who are having interest in cricket ? (2) (AO2)

Q30) Yuvan was playing with circular disc. While playing he got an idea to measure the
circumference and diameter of disc using compass and measuring tape. He measured the
circumference and diameter and then divided circumference by diameter. He noticed that
value is coming out to be approximately equal to 3.14159265359…….

Then he followed the same experiment with other circular objects
and noticed the same result. But he was confused because teacher
𝑐𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 22
told that = π whose value is .
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 7

Based on the above information, he asked the following doubts

to his friends which you have to give answers:
22
i) Write the decimal form of . (1) (AO1)
7
ii) Write the value of π using given information (1) (AO1)
22
iii) Analyse the situation and tell whether π and 7 are same. If no, which is rational
and which is irrational and why ? Explain your answer. (2) (AO2)
