III. Answer the following questions 𝟖 × 𝟐 = 𝟏𝟔

17. Prove that 𝟑 + √𝟓 is an irrational number.

Ans : Let us assume to the contrary that 3 + √5 is rational.

𝑝
3 + √5 = , 𝑝 and 𝑞 are coprime, 𝑞 ≠ 0
𝑞

𝑝
√5 = 𝑞 − 3

𝑝−3𝑞
√5 = 𝑞

⇒ √5 is rational

But this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational.

Our assumption that 3 + √5 is rational is incorrect.

∴ 𝟑 + √𝟓 is irrational

18. What is a composite number ? Which is the composite number among

𝟐𝟑 and 𝟐𝟒 ?

Ans : Composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.

Composite number = 24

OR

State the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. Write the composite number

which has 𝟕 and 𝟑 as its only prime factors.

Ans : Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of

primes, and this factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime

factors occur.

Composite number = 3 × 7 = 21

37. A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of a
solid cylinder, as shown in the figure. If the height of the cylinder is 𝟏𝟎 𝒄𝒎,
and the radius of its base is 𝟑. 𝟓 𝒄𝒎, then find the total surface area of the
article.
Ans :
Total surface area of the article
= CSA of Cylinder + 2 ×CSA of Hemisphere
= 2𝜋𝑟ℎ + 2 × 2𝜋𝑟 2
= 2𝜋𝑟ℎ + 4𝜋𝑟 2
= 2𝜋𝑟(ℎ + 2𝑟)

A juice seller was serving his customers using glass as shown in the figure.
The inner diameter of the cylindrical glass was 𝟓 𝒄𝒎, but the bottom of the
glass had a hemispherical raised portion which reduced the capacity of the
glass. If the height of the glass was 𝟏𝟎 𝒄𝒎, then find the apparent capacity
of the glass and its actual capacity. ( 𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝝅 = 𝟑. 𝟏𝟒 )
Ans : Apparent capacity of the glass

VI. Answer the following question. 𝟏×𝟓=𝟓
38. 𝑨𝑩 and 𝑹𝑸 are two vertical towers standing on a level ground. The angle of
elevation of the top of the tower from a point 𝑷 on the same ground and
from the foot of the tower 𝑸𝑹 are 𝟑𝟎° as shown in the figure. If 𝑷𝑸 = 𝟐𝟒 𝒎
and 𝑨𝑹 = 𝟏𝟑 𝒎, then find the heights of the towers 𝑨𝑩 and 𝑹𝑸. Also find
the length of 𝑨𝑷. [𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒆 √𝟑 = 𝟏. 𝟕]

∴ 𝑅𝑄 = 𝑅𝐶 + 𝐶𝑄 = 𝑅𝐶 + 𝐴𝐵 = 5 + 6.8 = 𝟏𝟏. 𝟖 𝒄𝒎
∴Heights of the towers : 𝑨𝑩 = 𝟔. 𝟖 𝒄𝒎 , 𝑹𝑸 = 𝟏𝟏. 𝟖 𝒄𝒎
Length of the 𝑨𝑷 = 𝟏𝟑. 𝟔 𝒄𝒎
