25 Let the lengths of the two pieces be 3x and 4x respectively.

Then, 3x + 4x = 140
7x = 140 ,

x = 20
So, the the lengths of the two pieces are 60 cm and 80cm.
SO, the maximum length of the measuring stick = HCF of (60,80)=

20cm
OR
Since, 40= 5× 23 ,
42=2×3× 7, 1
45= 3× 3 × 5,
LCM=2520cm 1
The minimum distance is 2520cm

(This section comprises of Short Answer type questions (SA) of 3 marks each)

26 Let 2 − 3√5 is rational 3

p 0.5
2 − 3√5 = , p and q are co prime, q ≠ 0
q
2q−p
√5 = 3q
⇒ √5 is rational 1.5
this cointradict the fact that √5 is given irrational
hence 2 − 3√5 is irrational 0.5

Hence, we observe that arc lengths of two sectors of two different circles
may be equal but their area need not be equal.
