(a) n

(b) n + 1

(c) 2n + 1

(d) 2n

Answer: (c) 2n + 1

Explanation: Since 2n represents the even numbers, hence 2n + 1 will always represent the odd numbers. Suppose if n = 2, then 2n = 4 and 2n + 1 = 5.

Answer: (b) Rational number

If p and q are integers and is represented in the form of p/q, then it is a rational number.

9. The largest number that divides 70 and 125, which leaves the remainders 5 and 8, is:

(a) 65

(b) 15

(c) 13

(d) 25

Answer: (c) 13

Explanation: 70 – 5 = 65 and 125 – 8 = 117

HCF (65, 117) is the largest number that divides 70 and 125 and leaves remainder 5 and 8.

HCF (65, 117) = 13

10. The least number that is divisible by all the numbers from 1 to 5 is:

(a) 70

(b) 60

(c) 80

(d) 90

Answer: (b) 60

Explanation: The least number will be LCM of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Hence, LCM (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

11. The sum or difference of two irrational numbers is always

(a) rational

(b) irrational

(c) rational or irrational

(d) not determined

Answer: (b) irrational

12. The decimal expansion of the rational number 23/(22 . 5) will terminate after

(a) one decimal place 

(b) two decimal places

(c) three decimal places 

(d) more than 3 decimal places

Answer: (b) two decimal places

Explanation:

23/(22 . 5) = (23 × 5)/(22 . 52) = 115/(10)2 = 115/100 = 1.15

Hence, 23/(22 . 5) will terminate after two decimal places.

13. Euclid’s division lemma states that for two positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r such that a = bq + r, where r must satisfy

(a) 1 < r < b 

(b) 0 < r ≤ b

(c) 0 ≤ r < b 

(d) 0 < r < b

Correct option: (c) 0 ≤ r < b 

Euclid’s division lemma states that for two positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r such that a = bq + r, where r must satisfy 0 ≤ r < b.

14. For some integer m, every even integer is of the form

(a) m 

(b) m + 1

(c) 2m 

(d) 2m + 1

Answer: (c) 2m

For some integer m, every even integer is of the form 2m.

15. Using Euclid’s division algorithm, the HCF of 231 and 396 is

(a) 32

(b) 21

(c) 13

(d) 33

Answer: (d) 33

Explanation: 

396 > 231

Using Euclid’s division algorithm,

396 = 231 × 1 + 165

231 = 165 × 1 + 66

165 = 66 × 2 + 33

66 = 33 × 2 + 0

16. If the HCF of 65 and 117 is expressible in the form 65m – 117, then the value of m is

(a) 4 

(b) 2

(c) 1 

(d) 3

Answer: (b) 2

Explanation:

117 > 65

117 = 65 × 1 + 52 

65 = 52 × 1 + 13 

52 = 13 × 4 + 0 

Therefore, HCF(65, 117) = 13 

According to the given,

65m – 117 = 13 

65m = 117 + 13 

65m = 130 

m = 130/65 = 2

17. The prime factorisation of 96 is

(a) 25 × 3

(b) 26

(c) 24 × 3

(d) 24 × 32

Answer: (a) 25 × 3

Explanation:

The prime factorisation of 96 is:

96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 25 × 3

18. n² – 1 is divisible by 8, if n is

(a) an integer 

(b) a natural number

(c) an odd integer 

(d) an even integer

Answer: (c) an odd integer 

Explanation:

We know that an odd number in the form (2Q + 1) where Q is a natural number ,

so, n² -1 = (2Q + 1)² -1

= 4Q² + 4Q + 1 -1

= 4Q² + 4Q

Substituting Q = 1, 2,…

When Q = 1,

4Q² + 4Q = 4(1)² + 4(1) = 4 + 4 = 8 , it is divisible by 8.

When Q = 2,

4Q² + 4Q = 4(2)² + 4(2) =16 + 8 = 24, it is also divisible by 8 .

When Q = 3,

4Q² + 4Q = 4(3)² + 4(3) = 36 + 12 = 48 , divisible by 8

It is concluded that 4Q² + 4Q is divisible by 8 for all natural numbers.

Hence, n² -1 is divisible by 8 for all odd values of n.

19. For any two positive integers a and b, HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = 

(a) 1

(b) (a × b)/2

(c) a/b

(d) a × b

Answer: (d) a × b

For any two positive integers a and b, HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b.

20. The values of the remainder r, when a positive integer a is divided by 3 are

(a) 0, 1, 2

(b) Only 1

(c) Only 0 or 1

(d) 1, 2

Answer: (a) 0, 1, 2

Explanation:

According to Euclid’s division lemma,

a = 3q + r, where 0 ≤ r < 3 and r is an integer. 

Therefore, the values of r can be 0, 1 or 2.
