Solution

(i) 38 and 25
Let:
x = 38 and y = 25
Rational number lying between x and y:
12x + y = 1238 + 25
= 1215+1640 = 3180

(ii) 1.3 and 1.4
Let:
x = 1.3 and y = 1.4
Rational number lying between x and y:
12x + y = 121.3+1.4
= 122.7= 1.35

(iii) -1 and 12
Let:
x = -1 and y = 12
Rational number lying between x and y:
12x + y = 12-1 + 12
= -14

(iv) -34 and-25
Let:
x = -34 and y = -25
Rational number lying between x and y:
12x + y = 12-34 - 25
= 12-15-820 = -2340

(v) 19 and 29
A rational number lying between 19 and 29 will be
1219+29=12×13=16
