Questions + Answers key
Take MCQ Maths Test1.
Prove that \(\sqrt { 3 } \) is irrational
2.
Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3, where q is some integer.
3.
Find the least positive value of x such that
98 \(\equiv \) (x + 4) (mod 5)
4.
Find the sum of
13 + 23 + 33 +..+ 163
5.

6.
Write an A.P. whose first term is 20 and common difference is 8.
7.
Find the number of integer solutions of 3x \(\equiv \) 1 (mod 15).
8.
We have 34 cakes. Each box can hold 5 cakes only. How many boxes we need to pack and how many cakes are unpacked?
9.
A mother divides Rs. 207 into three parts such that the amount are in A.P. and gives it to her three children. The product of the two least amounts that the children had Rs. 4623. Find the amount received by each child.
10.
Find the remainders when 70004 and 778 is divided by 7
1.
Let us assume the opposite, (1) \(\sqrt { 3 } \) is irrational.
Hence \(\sqrt { 3 } =\frac { p }{ q } \)
Where p and q (q ≠ 0) are co-prime (no common factor other than 1)
Hence, \(\sqrt { 3 } =\frac { p }{ q } \)
\(\sqrt { 3 } \)q = p
Squaring both side
\({ (\sqrt { 3 }q ) }^{ 2 }={ p }^{ 2 }\)
3q2 = p2
\({ q }^{ 2 }=\frac { p }{ 3 } \)
Hence, 3 divides p2 So 3 divides p also .....(1)
Hence we can say
\(\frac{p}{3}\) = c where c is some integer
s, p =p2
Putting p = 3c
3q2 = (3c)2
3q2 = 9c2
q2 = \(\frac13\) x 9c2
q2 = 3c2
\(\frac{9^2}{3}\) = c2
Hence 3 divides q2
So, 3 divides q also ...(2)
By (1) and (2) 3 divides both p and q
By contradiction \(\sqrt { 3 } \) is irrational.
2.
Let us start with taking a, where a is a +ve odd integer.
We apply the division algorithm with 'a' and 'b' = 4.
Since 0 ≤ r < 4, the possible remainders are 0,1,2,3.
That is, a can be 4q, or 4q + 1, or 4q + 2 or 4q + 3, where 1 is the quotient. However, since a is odd, a cannot be 4q or 4q + 2 (since they are both divisible by 2).
Any odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3
3.
98 \(\equiv \) (x + 4) (mod 5)
98 - (x + 4) = 5n , for some integer n.
94 - x = 5n
94- x is a multiple of 5
Therefore , the least positive value of x must be 4
Since 94 - 4 = 90 is the nearest multiple of 5 less than 94.
4.
13 + 23 + 33 + ...+ 163 = \(\left[ \frac { 16\times \left( 16+1 \right) }{ 2 } \right] ^{ 2 }\)= (136)2 = 18496
5.
First term a = 3; common difference d = 6 - 3 = 3 ; last term l = 111
We know that, n = \(\left( \frac { l-a }{ d } \right) +1\)
n = \(\left( \frac { 111-3 }{ 3 } \right) +1\) = 37
Thus the A.P. contain 37 terms
6.
First term = a = 20; common difference = d = 8
Arithmetic Progression is a, a + d , a + 2d , a + 3d,....
In this case , we get 20, 20 + 8, 20 + 2 (8), 20 + 3(8),....
So, the required A.P is 20, 28, 36, 44,....
7.
3x \(\equiv \) 1 (mod 15) can be written as
3x - 1 = 15k for some integer k
3x = 15k + 1
\(x=\frac { 15k+1 }{ 3 } \)
\(x=5k+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
Since 5k is an integer , 5k + \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) cannot be an integer
So there is no integer solution
8.
We see that 6 boxes are required to pack 30 cakes with 4 cakes left over. This distribution of cakes can be understood as follows:
| 34 | = | 5 | x | 6 | + | 4 |
| Total number of cakes | = | Number of cakes in each box | x | Number of boxes | + | Number of cakes left over |
| \(\downarrow\) | \(\downarrow\) | \(\downarrow\) | \(\downarrow\) | |||
| Dividend \(\alpha\) |
= | Divisor \(\beta\) |
x | Quotient q |
+ | Remainder r |
9.
Let the amount received by the three children be in the form of A.P. is given by
a - d, a, a + d, Since, Sum of the amount is Rs. 207, we have
(a - d) + a + (a + d) = 207
3a = 207 gives a = 69
It is given that product of the two least amounts is 4623.
(a - d)a = 4623
(69 - d)69 = 4623
d = 2
Therefore, amount given by the mother to her three children are
Rs. (69 - 2), Rs. 69, Rs. (69 + 2). That is Rs. 67, Rs. 69 and Rs. 71.
10.
Since 70000 is divisible by 7
70000 \(\equiv \) 0 (mod 7)
70000 + 4 \(\equiv \) 0 + 4 (mod 7)
70004 \(\equiv \) 4 (mod 7)
Therefore, the remainder when 70004 is divided 7 is 4
Since 777 is divisible by 7
777 \(\equiv \) 0 (mod 7)
777 + 1 \(\equiv \) 0 + 1 (mod 7)
778 \(\equiv \) 1 (mod 7)
Therefore, the remainder when 778 is divided by 7 is 1.
