1 CHAPTER 1 Points to Remember : REAL NUMBERS 1. Euclid s division lemma : Given positive integers a and b, there exists whole numbers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 r < b.. Euclid s division algorithm : This is based on Euclid s division lemma. According to this, the HCF of any two positive integers a and b, with a > b, is obtained as follows : Apply Euclid s division lemma to find q and r where a = bq + r, 0 r < b. If r = 0, the HCF is b. If r 0, apply the Euclid s lemma to b and r. Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be HCF (a, b).. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic : Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes, and this factorisation is unique, except for the order in which the prime factors occur. 4. For any two positive integers a and b, HCF (a, b) LCM (a, b) = a b. a b HCF (a, b) and LCM( a, b) a b LCM ( a, b) HCF( a, b). For any three positive integes a, b and c, we have a b c LCM ( a, b, c) HCF (a, b, c) LCM ( a, b) LCM ( b, c) LCM ( a, c) a b c HCF ( a, b, c) and LCM (a, b, c) HCF ( a, b) HCF ( b, c) HCF ( a, c) 6. Let a be a positive integer and p be a prime number such that p/a, then p/a. 7. If p is a positive prime, then p is an irrational number. 8. Let x be a rational number, whose decimal expansion terminates. Then we can express x in the form p q, where p and q are co-prime and the prime factorisation of q is of the form n m, where n, m are nonnegative integers. 9. Let x p q be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of q is of the form n m, where n, m are non-negative integers. Then x has a decimal expansion which terminates. m are non-negative integers. Then x has a decimal expansion which is non terminating repeating (recurring). 10. Let x p q be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of q is not of the form n m, where n, MATHEMATICS X REAL NUMBERS 1

2 ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES Example 1. Use Eculid s division algorithm to find the HCF of 1 and. Solution. Since > 1. Let a =, b = 1. Applying Eculid s division algorithm, we get = Since the remainder So, we apply the euclid s division algorithm to 1 and 90, to get 1 = Again, since the remainder is non-zero, so we apply the euclid s division algorithm to 90 and 4, to get 90 = We observe that remainder at this stage is zero. the divisor at this stage i.e. 4 is the HCF of 1 and. Symbolically we write HCF (1, ) = 4 Ans. Example. An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march? [NCERT] Solution. Clearly, the maximum number of columns in which members can march is the HCF of 616 and. So, let us find the HCF of 616 and by Euclid s division algorithm Since, 616 >. Let a = 616, b = Applying Euclid s division algorithm, we get = Since the remainder is non-zero, so we apply the Euclid s division algorithm to and 8, to get = We observe that the remainder is zero at this stage. The divisor at this stage i.e. 8 is the HCF of 616 and. Hence, the required maximum number of columns is 8. REAL NUMBERS MATHEMATICS X Example. Use Eculid s division demma, to show that the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1 or 9m + 8. [NCERT] Solution. Let x be any positive integer. Then, it is of the form q or, q + 1 or, q +. So, we have the following cases : Case I : When x = q. then, x = (q) = 7q = 9 (q ) = 9m, where m = q. 4

3 Case II : When x = q + 1 then, x = (q + 1) = 7q + 7q + 9q + 1 = 9 q (q + q + 1) + 1 = 9m + 1, where m = q (q + q + 1) Case III. When x = q + then, x = (q + ) = 7 q + 4q + 6q + 8 = 9q (q + 6q + 4) + 8 = 9 m + 8, where m = q (q + 6q + 4) Hence, x is either of the form 9 m or 9 m + 1 or, 9 m + 8. Example 4. Express each of the following number as a product of its prime factors : (i) 140 (ii) 8 (iii) 00 [NCERT] Solution. (i) Using the factor tree for prime factorisation, we have = 7 = 7 (ii) Using the factor tree for prime factorisation, we have MATHEMATICS X REAL NUMBERS = 17 = 17 (iii) Using the factor tree for prime factorisation, we have =

4 Example. Find the HCF of 96 and 404 by prime factorisation method. Hence, find their LCM. Solution. We have, 96 = and 404 = 101 HCF = = 4. Now, HCF LCM = LCM = 9696 Ans. HCF 4 Example 6. Check whether 6 n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n. Solution. Example 7. Prove that [NCERT] We have, 6 n = ( ) n = n n. Therefore, prime factorisation of 6 n does not contain as a factor. Hence, 6 n can never end with the digit 0 for any natural number n. is an irrational number. Solution. Let us assume, to the contrary, that is rational. So, we can find integers r and s ( 0) such that r. Suppose r and s have a common factor other than 1. Then, we divide by the common s factor to get a, where a and b are co-prime. b So, b a. Squaring on both sides, we get b = a. Therefore, divides a divides a. So, we can write a = c for some integer c. Substituting for a, we get b = 4c, or b = c. This means that divides b, and so divides b. Therefore, a and b have atleast as a common factor. But this contradicts the fact that a and b have no common factors other than 1. This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that So, we conclude that Example 8. Prove that + is irrational. is irrational. Hence proved. is rational. [NCERT] Solution. Let us assume on the contrary that is rational. Then there exists co-prime integers a and b such that, a b a b a b b is rational. [ a, b are integers, This contradicts the fact that Hence, is an irrational number. a b is a rational] b is irrational. So, our supposition is incorrect. 4 REAL NUMBERS MATHEMATICS X

Without actually performing the long division, state whether the following rational number will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non-terminating repeating decimal expansion : 1 (i) 1 (ii) 17 8 (iii) (iv) 1600 (v) 9 4 Solution. (i) So, the denominator is of the form m n. Hence, it has terminating decimal expansion. (ii) So, the denominator is of the form m n. Hence, it has terminating decimal expansion. [NCERT] (iii) Clearly, the denominator is not of the form m n. Hence, it has non-terminating repeating decimal expansion. 1 (iv) So, the denominator is of the form m n. Hence, it has terminating decimal expansion. (v) Clearly, the denominator is not of the form m n. Hence, it has non-terminating repeating decimal expansion. Example 10. The following real numbers have decimal expression as given below. In each case decide whether p they are rational or not. If they are rational, and of the form, what can you say about the q prime factors of q? (i) (ii) (iii) [NCERT] Solution. (i) is a rational number of the form p q and q is of the form m n. (ii) (iii) is not a rational number since it has non-recurring and non-terminating decimal and q is not of the form m n is a rational number having recurring and non-terminating decimal expansion since q is not of the form m n.

Required number = HCF (80 4, 14 ) = HCF (76, 14). 4. Greatest capacity = HCF (10 l, 140 l, 17 l).. Length of largest rod = HCF (8 cm, 67 cm, 40 cm) 6. Number of participants in each room = HCF (60, 84, 108) = 1. Now, total number of participants = =. number of rooms required Let a be any positive integer. Then, it is of the form q or, q + 1 or, q +. So, we have the following cases : Case I : When a = q, here a ( q) 9q ( q) m, where m q. Case II : When a = q + 1, a = (q + 1) = 9q + 6q + 1 = q (q + ) + 1, where m = q (q + ). Case III : When a = q +, here, a (q ) 9q 1q 4 (q 4q 1) 1 m 1, where m q 4q 1. Hence, a is of the form m or m = 1 ( ) = 1 78, which is a composite no. also, = ( ) = 1009, which is a composite no. m. (i) Let p be a prime number and if possible, let p is rational. Let its simplest form be p, n where m and n are integers having no common factor other than 1, and n 0. m m Now, p p pn m n n p divides m p divides m. MATHEMATICS X REAL NUMBERS 7...(i)

8 Let m = pq for some integer q. putting m = pq in (i), we get pn = p q n = pq p divides n p divides n....(ii) from (i) and (ii), we observe that p is a common factor of m and n, which contradicts our assumption. Hence, p is irrational. a (ii) Let n 1 n 1 is rational. Let n 1 n 1, where a, b are positive integers. b a Now, n 1 n 1 b...(i) b 1 b n 1 n 1 n 1 n 1 a n 1 n 1 a ( n 1) ( n 1) b n 1 n 1 a...(ii) adding (i) and (ii) and subtracting (ii) from (i), we get 1 a b and 1 a n n b ab ab n 1 and n 1 are rationals. [ a, b are integers, a b and a b ab ab are rationals.] (n + 1) and (n 1) are perfect squares of positive integers, which is not possible as any two perfect squares differ atleast by. Hence, n 1 n 1 is irrational. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS Mark the correct alternative in each of the following : 1.
