14.
We can write 0 as \(\frac { 0 }{ 10 } \).
We can write (-2) as \(\left( \frac { 20 }{ 10 } \right) \)
Thus the rational numbers between 0 and -2 are
\(\frac { -1 }{ 10 } ,\frac { -2 }{ 10 } ,\frac { -3 }{ 10 } ,\frac { -4 }{ 10 } ,\frac { -5 }{ 10 } ,\frac { -6 }{ 10 } ,...,\frac { -19 }{ 10 } \)
We may take any four of these

The possible one's digits of the square root of the numbers.
In a given number 657666025, one's digit is 5.
We know that, square of5 gives out 5 in one's digit.
Hence, possible one's digit of the square root digit is 5.
17.
We have, 8888
One's digit of 8888 = 8
Now, cube of the one's digit of 8888 = (8)3 = 8 x 8 x 8 =512
Hence,one's digit in the cube of 8888 is 2.
18.
There are ten separate slips having 1 to 10 numbers (one number on one slip) out of which one slip can be chosen in 10ways.
So, total number of outcomes = 10
Here, the numbers greater than 6 are 7, 8, 9 and 10. So, one slip having number greater than 6 can be chosen in 4 ways.
So, favourable outcomes = 4
\(\therefore\) Probability of getting a number greater than 6 = \(\frac{Favourable\ outcomes}{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}\)
19.
We know that, a convex quadrilateral have angle of measure less than 180° and no portions of their diagonals in their exteriors.
So, a rectangle is a convex quadrilateral because the measure of its each angle is less than 180° and both the diagonals lie in its interior.

(i) The proportion of the sector for hours:
in sleeping = \(Number\ of\ sleeping\ hours\over Whole\ day\)
\(={8\ hours\over 24\ hours}={1\over3}\)
in school =\({6\ hours\over 24\ hours}={1\over4}\)
in home work = \({4\ hours\over 24\ hours}={1\over 6}\)
in play = \({3\ hours\over 24\ hours}={1\over 8}\)
in others = \({3\ hours\over 24\ hours}={1\over 8}\)
(ii) ∵ Total angle at the centre of a circle
= 360°
i.e., Central angle for 1 (whole) = 360°
∴ Central angle for play
(\(1\over8\)th part of Whole) = \(1\over8\) x 360° = 45°
Similarly, central angle for home work
(\(1\over6\) th part of Whole) = \(1\over6\) x 360° = 60°
28.
Volume of the cubical tank
=91125 m3
Let the length of each side of cubical tank be x m.
We know that, Volume of a cube
= (Side)3
SO, (x)3 =91125
x = \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 91125 } \)
x = \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ \begin{matrix} \underline { 3\times 3\times 3 } \times \underline { 3\times 3\times 3 } \times \underline { 5\times 5\times 5 } \\ x=3\times 3\times 5 \end{matrix} } \)
x = 3 x 3 x 5
x = 45 m
Hence, the height of the tank will be 45 m.

(i) Yes, RE = OM
Given, the above rectangle, opposite sides are equal. .
(ii) Yes, ㄥMYO = ㄥRXE
Here, MY and RX are perpendicular to OE.
Since, ㄥRXO = 90° ⇒ ㄥRXE = 900
and ㄥMYE = 90° ⇒ ㄥMYO = 90°
(iii) Yes, ㄥMOY = ㄥREX
Since, these are alternate interior angles.
∵ RE || OM and EO is a transversal.
∴ ㄥMOE = ㄥOER
⇒ ㄥMOY = ㄥREX
(iv) Yes, ΔMYO ≅ RXE
In ΔMYO and ΔRXE, we see that
MO=RE [proved]
ㄥMOY = ㄥREX [proved]
ㄥMYO = ㄥRXE [proved]
∴ ΔMYO ≅ ΔRXE [by AAS]
(v) Yes, MY = RX
Since, these are corresponding part of congruent triangles.
31.
In a parallelogram, the opposite sides have same length.
Therefore, PQ = SR = 12 cm and QR = PS = 7 cm
So, Perimeter = PQ + QR + RS + SP
= 12 cm + 7 cm + 12 cm + 7 cm = 38 cm
32.
\(\frac{-1}{2}+[\frac{3}{7}+(\frac{-4}{3})] = \frac{-1}{2}+(\frac{-19}{21})=\frac{-59}{42}\)
\([\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{3}{7}]+(\frac{-4}{3})=\frac{-1}{14}+(\frac{-4}{3})=\frac{-59}{42}\)
So, Yes ; \(\frac{-1}{2}+[\frac{3}{7}+(\frac{-4}{3})]=[\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{3}{7}]+(\frac{-4}{3})\)
i.e., the two sums are equal.
33.
In \(\Delta\) ABC and \(\Delta\) ADC
AB = AD
| One pair of consecutive sides BC = DC
| Other pairs of consecutive sides AC = AC | Common
\(\therefore\) \(\Delta\) ABC \(\cong \) \(\Delta\) ADC
| SSS Congruence Axiom

\(\therefore \angle BAC=\angle DAC\) | CPCT
\(\angle BCA=\angle DCA\) | CPCT
i.e., diagonal AC bisects \(\angle BAD\) and \(\angle BCD\) each.
34.
Using the closure property over addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for rational numbers, integers, whole-numbers and natural numbers, we have:
| Number | Closed Under | |||||
| Addition | Subtraction | Multuplication | Division | |||
| Rational numbers | Yes | Yes | Yes. | No | ||
| Integers | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | ||
| Whole numbers | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | ||
| Natural numbers | Yes | No | Yes | No | ||
35.
Given, number is 614125.
So, groups of 614125 are

In the first group, the number 125 ends with 5. We know that, 5 comes at the unit's place of a number only when its cube ends in 5.
So, 5 will come at unit's place.
Now, in the second group, the number is 614
∵ (8)3 = 512 and (9)3=729
and 512 < 614 < 729
So, ten's place of required cube root is 8.
Hence, \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 614125 } \) = 85
36.

38.
Let the number of plates on the table be y and the number of puris be x.
Then, according to the first condition of the problem
4(y - 1) = x ...(1)
and, according to the second condition of the
problem
3y + 1= x ... (2)
From (1) and (2), we have
4(y - 1) = 3y + 1
⇒ 4y - 4 = 3y + 1
⇒ 4y - 3y = 1 + 4
⇒ y=5
Put y = 5 in (1), we get
x = 4(5) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16
Hence, the number of plates and number of puris on the table are 5 and 16 respectively.
39.
The highest observation = 62
The lowest observation = 17
One of the class intervals = 40-48
∴ Class size = Upper class limit - Lower class limit
= 48 - 40 = 8
∴ The appropriate classes can be:
16-24, 24-32, 32-40, 40-48, 48-56, 56-64
Thus, the frequency distribution table for the above data can be shown using the Tally marks
