39.
(A) Prove that \(\sqrt{10}\) is irrational.
(B) Explain the exact step where the proof method fails for \(\sqrt{4} \text { and } \sqrt{9} \text {. }\)Why does it fail?
1.
Since 11 is not a perfect square \(\sqrt{11}\)
Cannot be written as a rational number and is therefore irrational. In contrast, \(\sqrt{16}=4, \sqrt{49}=7 .\)and
\(\sqrt{100}=10\) are rational because 16, 49, and 100 are perfect squares
2.
The midpoint between \(\frac{1}{4} \text { and } \frac{1}{3}\) is found by taking their average:
\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Midpoint }=\frac{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{3}}{2} \\ & \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{12}+\frac{4}{12}=\frac{7}{12} \\ & \frac{7}{12} \div 2=\frac{7}{12} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{24} \end{aligned}\)
So, the midpoint is \(\frac{7}{24}\)
3.
\(\frac{7}{0}\) is undefined because division by zero is not possible in mathematics. In any rational number \(\frac{p}{q},\) the denominator must satisfy \(q \neq 0 .\)
If \(\frac{7}{0}=x, \text { then } x \times 0=7\)
But any number multiplied by zero equals zero, never 7. Therefore, no such number x exists. Hence, division by zero is undefined not a rational number.
4.

The sum of consecutive interior angles on the same side of a transversal is \(180^{ 0 }\)
8.
\(x+50^{ 0 }\)
\(y+90^{ 0 }+x=180^{ 0 }\quad 50^{ 0 }+90^{ 0 }+x=180^{ 0 }\)
\(\Rightarrow x=40^{ 0 }\)
\(q=x=40^{ 0 }\)
9.
\(4x+2x=180^{ 0 }\)
10.
\((30-a)^{ 0 }+(125+2a)^{ 0 }=180^{ 0 }\)
11.
\(150^{ 0 },30^{ 0 }=180^{ 0 }\neq 90^{ 0 }\)
12.
Let AB and CD two lines intersecting at O

This leads to two pairs of vertically opposite angles,namely
(i) \(\angle \)AOC and \(\angle \)BOD
(II) \(\angle \)AOD and \(\angle \)BOC
We are to prove that
(i) \(\angle \)AOC and \(\angle \)BOD
(II) \(\angle \)AOD and \(\angle \)BOC
\(\therefore \) Ray OA stands on line CD
Therefore (i) \(\angle \)AOC and \(\angle \)AOD=\(180^{ 0 }\)
|Linear Pair Axiom
From (1) and (2)
\(\angle \)AOC and \(\angle \)AOD= \(\angle \)AOD and \(\angle \)BOD \(\angle \)AOC and \(\angle \)BOD
\(\Rightarrow \) Similarly we can prove that
\(\angle \)AOD and \(\angle \)BOC
13.
30°, 60°, 90°.
14.
Since ray OP stands on line AB.
∴\(\angle\)POA + \(\angle\)POB = 180° [by linear pair axiom]
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle\)POA + [\(\angle\)POQ + \(\angle\)QOR + \(\angle\)ROB] = 180°
[\(\because\) \(\angle\)POB = \(\angle\)POQ + \(\angle\)QOR + \(\angle\)ROB]
Hence, the sum of all the angles on the same side of a straight line at a given point is 180°.
Hence proved.

∵ AB ॥ CD and EF is a transversal.
∴ ∠BEP = ∠EFD [corresponding angles]
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠BEP = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠EFD
⇒ ∠PEG = ∠EFH [∵ EG and FH are the angle bisectors of ∠BEP and ∠EFD respectively]
But they form pair of corresponding angles.
∴ EG॥ FH.
19.
5x-20o+2x-10o=180o (Corresponding interior angles)
\(\Rightarrow\)7x=180o+30o=210o
\(\Rightarrow\)x=30o
y=180o-(5x-20o)
=180o-(150o-20o)
\(\Rightarrow\)y=180o-130o=50o
z=2x-10o
=60o-10o=50o
20.
Let us assume \(5+2 \sqrt{3}\) is rational, then it must be in the form of
where p and q are co-prime integers and \(q \neq 0\)
i.e., \(5+2 \sqrt{3}=\frac{p}{q}\)
So
Since p,g, 5 and 2 are integers and \(q \neq 0,\)
RHS of equation (i) is rational. But LHS of (i) is \(\sqrt{3}\) which is irrational.
This is not possible. This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that \(5+2 \sqrt{3}\) is rational.
So, \(5+2 \sqrt{3}\) is irrational

(A) Representing \(\frac{-7}{4}\) on the number line
Converting to a mixed number:
\(-\frac{7}{4}=-1 \frac{3}{4}\)
Since \(\frac{-7}{4}=-1.75 \text {, it lies between }-2 \text { and }-1 \text {. }\)
Construction steps:
(1) Draw a number line and mark the integers -2 and-1 on it.
(2) Divide the segment between -2 and -1 into 4 equal parts (because the denominator is 4).
(3) Each small part represents \(\frac{1}{4} .\)
(4) Starting from -2, move 1 part to the right (since
\(\left.-2=\frac{-8}{4} \text { and } \frac{-7}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\right)\)
(5) The 1st division point to the right of -2 represents \(\frac{-7}{4} .\)
(B) Representing \(\frac{5}{6}\) on the number line
Checking the value:
\(\frac{5}{6} \approx 0.833\)
Since \(0<\frac{5}{6}<1 \text {, it lies between } 0 \text { and } 1 .\)
Construction steps:
(1) Draw a number line and mark the integers 0 and 1 on it
(2)Divide the segment between 0 and 1 into 6 equal parts (because the denominator is 6).
(3) Each small part represents
(4) Starting from 0, move 5 equal parts to the right.

Given fractions: \(\frac{2}{3} \text { and } \frac{4}{6}\)
Check cross multiplication:
2 x 6 = 12, 3 x 4 = 12
Since ad= bc, therefore:
Hence \(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6}\)
Also,
\(\begin{aligned} \frac{2}{5}+\left(-\frac{3}{10}\right) & =\frac{2}{5} \times\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)=-\frac{20}{15}=-\frac{4}{3} \\ & =-\frac{20}{15}=-\frac{4}{3} \end{aligned}\)

37.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Explanation:
Assertion (A) is true because an irrational number always exists between any two rational numbers. For example \(\sqrt{2}\) lies between 1 and 2 and is irrational. Reason (R) is also true because rational numbers are dense but do not cover the entire number line; irrational numbers occupy the remaining points. This explains why an irrational number can always be found between any two rational numbers.
38.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Explanation:
Hence, the product is rational. However, the reason is incorrect because the product of two irrational numbers is not always irrational. This example itself is a counter example
39.
(A) Prove that \(\sqrt{10}\) is irrational.
Assume that \(\sqrt{10}=\frac{p}{q}\)
where p and q are co-prime integers and q ≠ 0.
Squaring both sides, p2 =10q2
Since 10 = 2 x 5, both 2 and 5 divide p2.
Therefore, 2 divides p and 5 also divides p. Hence, 10 divides p.
Let p = 10m
Substituting in the equation:
(10m)2 = 10q2
100m2 = 10q2
q2 = 10m2
Thus, 10 also divides q.
So both p and q are divisible by 10, which contradicts the assumption that p and q are co-prime.
Hence, \(\sqrt{10}\) is irrational.
(B) For \(\sqrt{4}: p^2=4 q^2\)
Taking p = 2k,
(2k)2 = 4q2
4K2 = 4q2
k = q
Therefore,
\(\sqrt{4}\) = 2 which is rational,
Similarly, for \(\sqrt{9}:\)
p2 = 9q2
Taking p = 3k,
9k² = 9q2
So k = q, giving
\(\sqrt{9}=3\)
which is also rational.
The proof by contradiction works only when the number is not a perfect square. For perfect squares such as and 9, the steps simplify to a rational number instead of producing a contradiction.
