(ii) b-a a whole number ? Is this result always true?

Solution:

Let us take a = 2 and b = 1

(i) a – b = 2 – 1

= 1

Yes, a – b is a whole number and the result will always remain true

(ii) b – a = 1 – 2

= -1

No, (b – a) cannot be a whole number and this result will always remain true.

Exercise 5(D) page no: 40

1. Show that:

(i) division of whole numbers is not closed.

(ii) any whole number divided by 1, always gives the number itself.

(iii) every non-zero whole number divided by itself gives 1 (one).

(iv) zero divided by any non-zero number is zero only.

(v) a whole number divided by 0 is not defined.

For each part, given above, give two suitable examples.

Solution:

(i) Example:

5 and 8 are whole numbers, but 5 ÷ 8 is not a whole number

Therefore, closure property does not exist for division of whole numbers

(ii) Example:

2 ÷ 1 = 2, 18 ÷ 1 = 18, 129 ÷ 1 = 129

Hence, the given statement, any whole number divided by 1, always gives the number itself is true.

(iii) Example:

2 ÷ 2 = 1, 128 ÷ 128 = 1, 256 ÷ 256 = 1

Therefore, the given statement, every non-zero whole number divided by itself gives one is true

(iv) Example:

0 ÷ 138 = 0, 0 ÷ 2028 = 0, 0 ÷ 15140 = 0

Therefore, the given statement, zero divided by any non-zero number is zero only, is true

(v) Example:

7 ÷ 0 is not defined

16 ÷ 0 is not defined

Hence, the given statement, a whole number divided by zero is not defined, is true

2. If x is a whole number such that x ÷ x = x, state the value of x.

Solution:

We know that, any number divided by 1, always gives the number itself

The value of x can be any number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6……and so on.

3. Fill in the blanks:

(i) 987 ÷ 1 = ………..

(ii) 0 ÷ 987 = ……..

(iii) 336 – (888 ÷ 888) = …………

(iv) (23 ÷ 23) – (437 ÷ 437) = ………..

Solution:

(i) 987 ÷ 1 = 987

(ii) 0 ÷ 987 = 0

(iii) 336 – (888 ÷ 888) = 335

(iv) (23 ÷ 23) – (437 ÷ 437) = 0

4. Which of the following statements are true?

(i) 12 ÷ (6 × 2) = (12 ÷ 6) × (12 ÷ 2)

(ii) a ÷ (b – c) = a / b – a / c

(iii) (a – b) ÷ c = a / c – b / c

(iv) (15 – 13) ÷ 8 = (15 ÷ 8) – (13 ÷ 8)

(v) 8 ÷ (15 – 13) = 8 / 15 – 8 / 13

Solution:

(i) 12 ÷ (6 × 2) = (12 ÷ 6) × (12 ÷ 2)

12 ÷ 12 = 2 × 6

1 ≠ 12

Hence, the statement is false

(ii) a ÷ (b – c) = a / b – a / c

a / (b – c) ≠ (ac – ab) / bc

Hence, the statement is false

(iii) (a – b) ÷ c – a / c – b / c

(a – b) / c = (a – b) / c

Hence, the statement is true

(iv) (15 – 13) ÷ 8 = (15 ÷ 8) – (13 ÷ 8)

(15 – 13) / 8 = 15 – 13 / 8

2 / 8 = 2 / 8

Hence, the statement is true.

(v) 8 ÷ (15 – 13) = 8 / 15 – 8 / 13

8 / 2 = (104 – 120) / 15 (13)

4 ≠ (-16) / {15 (13)}

Hence, the statement is false

(iii) and (iv) statements are true


Exercise 5(e) page no: 42

1. Find the difference between the largest number of four digits and the smallest number of six digits.

Solution:

Largest number of 4 digits = 9999

Smallest number of 6 digits = 100000

Their difference = 100000 – 9999

= 90001

Therefore, the difference between the largest number of four digits and the smallest number of six digits = 90001

2. Find the difference between the smallest number of eight digits and the largest number of five digits.

Solution:

Smallest number of eight digits = 10000000

Largest number of five digits = 99999

Their difference = 10000000 – 99999

= 9900001

Hence, the difference between the smallest number of eight digits and the largest number of five digits is 9900001

3. The product of two numbers is 528. If the product of their unit’s digits is 8 and the product of their ten’s digits is 4; find the numbers.

Solution:

Given the product of unit’s digits = 8 i.e., 2 × 4

Hence, unit’s digits are 2 and 4

So, the numbers are either 24 or 22

24 × 22 = 528

The required numbers are 24 and 22

4. Does there exist a number a such that a ÷ a = a?

Solution:

Yes and the number a is 1

a ÷ a = a

1 ÷ 1 = 1

5. Divide 5936 by 43 to find the quotient and remainder. Also, check your division by using the formula, dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder

Solution:

On dividing 5936 by divisor 43, we get the quotient 138 and the remainder 2

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class Chapter 5 - 2

Verification:

Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder

5936 = 43 × 138 + 2

5936 = 43 × (100 + 38) + 2

= 4300 + 1634 + 2

= 5936

Therefore, verified.
