Question 1.
 Represent \(\frac{-3}{4}\) on a number line. (Page No.3)
 Solution:
 
 Step – 1: Divide each unit into four equal parts to the right and left side of zero on the number line.
 Step – 2 : Take 3 parts after zero on its left side.
 Step -3 : It represents \(\frac{-3}{4}\)

Question 2.
 Write 0, 7, 10, -4 in p/q form (Page No.2)
 Solution:
 
Question 3.
 Guess my number : Your friend chooses an integer between 0 and 100. You have to find out that number by asking questions, but your friend can only answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. What strategy would you use ? (Page No.3)
 Solution:
 Let my friend choosen 73; then my questions may be like this.
Q : Does it lie in the first 50 numbers ?
 A: No .
Q : Does it lie between 50 and 60 ?
 A: No
Q : Does it lie between 60 and 70 ?
 A: No
Q : Does it lie between 70 and 80 ?
 A: Yes
 [then my guess would be “it is a number from 70 to 80]
Q : Is it an even number ?
 A: No
 [my guess : it should be one of the numbers 71, 73, 75, 77 and 79]

Q : Is it a prime number ?
 A: Yes
 [my guess : it may be 71, 73 or 79]
Q : Is it less than 75 ?
 A: Yes
 [my guess : it may be either 71 or 73]
Q : Is it less than 72 ?
 A: No
Then the number is 73.
 Therefore the strategy is
 → Use number properties such as even, odd, composite or prime to determine the number.

Question 1.
 Kruthi said √2 can be written as \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}\) which is in form. So √2 is a rational number. Do you agree with her argument ? (Page No.10)
 Solution:
 No.
 Writing √2 = \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}\) is not in the \(\frac { p }{ q }\) form.
 Since p and q are integers and √2 is not an integer.

Question 1.
 Find the value of √3 upto six decimals.(Page No.10)
 Solution:
 
Step 1 :
 Write 3 as 3.00 00 00 00 00 00 00
 Step – 2 :
 Group the zeros in pairs (i.e.) make periods.
 Step – 3 :
 Find the square root using long division method.
 ∴ √3 = 1.732050

Question 1.
 Locate √5 and -√5 on the number line [Hint 5 = 22 + 12](Page No.12)
 Solution:
 Step – 1 :
 At zero draw a rectangle of length 2 units and breadth 1 unit.
Step – 2 :
 
Step – 3 :
 Using compass draw an arc of radius OB with centre ‘O’ which cuts the num-ber line at D and D1.
Step – 4 :
 D represents √5 and D1 represents – √5 on the number line.

Question
 Constructing the ‘Square root spiral’. (Page No. 15)
 Solution:
 Take a large sheet of paper and construct the ‘Square root spiral’ in the following manner.
 Step – 1 : Start with point ‘O’ and draw a line segment \(\overline{\mathrm{OP}}\) of 1 unit length.
 Step – 2 : Draw a line segment \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}\) perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{OP}}\) of unit length (where OP = PQ = 1) (see Fig.)
 Step – 3 : Join 0, Q. (OQ = √2 )
 Step – 4 : Draw a line segment OR of unit length perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{OQ}}\)
 Step – 5 : Join O, R. (OR = √3 )
 Step – 6 : Draw a line segment RS of unit length perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{OR}}\).
 Step – 7 : Continue in this manner for some more number of steps, you will create a
 beautiful spiral made of line segment \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}, \overline{\mathrm{QR}}, \overline{\mathrm{RS}}, \overline{\mathrm{ST}}, \overline{\mathrm{TU}}\) …………etc. Note that the line segments \(\overline{\mathrm{OQ}}, \overline{\mathrm{OR}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{OS}}, \overline{\mathrm{OT}}, \overline{\mathrm{OU}}\) …… etc., denote the lengths √2,√3, √4, √5, √6 respectively.

Question 1.
 Find rationalising factors of the denominators of (Page No. 20)
 i) \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)
 Solution:
 \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \times 3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}\)
 ∴ The R.F is √3
ii) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\)
 Solution:
 \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5}\)
 ∴ The R.F is √5
