Ans:

12. Simplify 4
81  8( 3 216)  15( 5 32)  225 .
Ans:

Hence, 4 81  8( 3 216)  15( 5 32)  225

= 3 – 8 × 6 + 15 × 2 + 15 = 3 – 48 + 30 + 15 = 48 – 48 = 0

13. Simplify by rationalising the denominator.

Ans:

14. Represent 2 on the real number line.

Ans: Using Pythagoras theorem, 2  12  12
OB = OA2  AB 2  2
Hence, take OA = 1 unit on the number line and AB = 1 unit, which is perpendicular to OA.
With O as centre and OB as radius, we draw an arc to intersect the number line at P. Then P
corresponds to 2 on the number line as shown in figure.

 Clearly, OP = OB = 2

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.

19. Mr. Kumar, a Mathematics teacher explained some key points of unit 1 of class IX to his
students. Some are given here.
 There are infinite rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
 Rationalisation of a denominator means to change the irrational denominator to rational
form.
 A number is irrational if its decimal form is non-terminating non-recurring

On the basis of these key points, Answer the following questions

(a) What is the reciprocal of 2 + 3 ?
(b) Find a rational number between 2 and 3
(c) Simplify ( 3  7 )3
OR
4
(c) Express in decimal form and state the kind of decimal expansion.

 (c) ( 3  7 )3 =  ( 3)3  ( 7 )3  3( 3)2 7  3( 3)( 7 )2
 3 3  7 7  9 7  21 3
 24 3  16 7
OR
4
(c)  0.571428571428...  0.571428

Therefore, the decimal expansion of the given rational number is non-terminating recurring
(repeating).

20. In January 2021, the vaccination drive for COVID -19 started in 7 states of a country. More than
60% of the people were vaccinated in 4 states out of 7 states, In one of the state vaccination drive
has not been started due to flood although vaccine dose was supplied to that state in advance. In
February 2021, 4 more states were included in this drive and 2 states have got remarkable
response from the people and more than 80% of the population got vaccinated there. Using this
information answer the following questions:

(a) In January 2021, more than 60% of people were vaccinated in 4 states out of 7 states. Find
4
the decimal representation of (2)

(b) In 2 states out of 11 states, more than 80% of people participated in vaccination drive in two
