Can we write 0 in the form of p/q?
a. Yes
b. No
c. Cannot be explained
d. None of the above
Answer: a
Explanation: 0 is a rational number and hence it can be written in the form of p/q.
Example: 0/4 = 0
The three rational numbers between 3 and 4 are:
a. 5/2, 6/2, 7/2
b. 13/4, 14/4, 15/4
c. 12/7, 13/7, 14/7
d.11/4, 12/4, 13/4
Answer: b
Explanation: There are many rational numbers between 3 and 4
To find 3 rational numbers, we need to multiply and divide both the numbers by 3+1 = 4
Hence, 3 x (4/4) = 12/4 and 4 x (4/4) = 16/4
Thus, three rational numbers between 12/4 and 16/4 are 13/4, 14/4 and 15/4.
In between any two numbers, there are:
a. Only one rational number
b. Two rational numbers
c. Infinite rational numbers
d. No rational number
Answer: c
Explanation: Take the reference from question number 2 explained above.
Every rational number is:
a. Whole number
b. Natural number
c. Integer
d. Real number
Answer: d
Explanation: Real number consist of all the rational and irrational numbers. A rational number is
a number that is represented in the form of P/Q, where Q is not equal to zero and both P and Q
are integers. For example, 1/2 is a rational number, but not a whole number, a natural number or
an integer.
√9 is __________ number.
a. A rational
b. An irrational
c. Neither rational nor irrational
d. None of the above

Which of the following is an irrational number?
a. √23
b. √225
c. 0.3796
d. 7.478478
Answer: a
Explanation: √23 = 4.79583152331…
Since the decimal expansion of the number is non-terminating non-recurring. Hence, it is an
irrational number.
But, √225 = 15, 0.3796 and 7.478478 are terminating.
Which of the following is an irrational number?
a. 0.14
. 0.1416¯

d. 0.4014001400014…
Answer: d
Explanation: 0.4014001400014…is an irrational number as it is non-terminating and non-
repeating.
2√3+√3 =
a. 6
b. 2√6
c. 3√3

Find the least number which will leaves remainder 5 when divided by 8, 12, 16 and 20.
A. 240
B. 245
C. 265
D. 235
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
We have to find the Least number, therefore we find out the LCM of 8, 12, 16 and 20.
8 = 2 × 2 × 2;
12 = 2 × 2 × 3;
16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2;
20 = 2 × 2 × 5;
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 240;
This is the least number which is exactly divisible by 8, 12, 16 and 20
Thus,
Required number which leaves remainder 5 is,
240 + 5 = 245
