Question 1.
 Find q and r for the following pairs of positive integers a and b, satisfying a = bq + r. (Page No. 3)
 i) a = 13, b = 3
 Answer:
 13 = 3 × 4 + 1
 here q = 4 ; r = 1
 ii) a = 8, b = 80
 Answer:
 Take a = 80, b = 8
 80 = 8 × 10 + 0 here q = 10 ; r = 0
 iii) a = 125, b = 5
 Answer:
 125 = 5 × 25 + 0
 here q = 25 ; r = 0
 iv) a = 132, b = 11
 Answer:
 132 = 11 × 12 + 0
 here q = 12 ; r = 0

Question 2.
 Find the HCF of the following by using Euclid division lemma,
 i) 50 and 70 (Page No. 4)
 Answer:
 For given two positive integers a > b;
 there exists unique pair of integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r; 0≤r<b.
 ∴ 70 = 50 × 1 + 20
 Here a = 70, b = 50, q = 1, r = 20.
 Now consider 50, 20
 50 = 20 × 2 + 10
 Here a = 50, b = 20, q = 2, r = 10.
 Now taking 20 and 10.
 20 = 10 × 2 + 0
 Here the remainder is zero.
 ∴ 10 is the HCF of 70 and 50.
ii) 96 and 72
 Answer:
 96 = 72 × 1 + 24
 72 = 24 × 3 + 0
 ∴ HCF = 24
iii) 300 and 550
 Answer:
 550 = 300 × 1 + 250
 300 = 250 × 1 + 50
 250 = 50 × 5 + 0
 ∴ HCF = 50
iv) 1860 and 2015
 Answer:
 2015 = 1860 × 1 + 155
 1860 = 155 × 12 + 0
 ∴ HCF = 155

Think & Discuss
Question 1.
 From the above questions in ‘DO THIS’, what is the nature of q and r? (Page No. 3)
 Answer:
 Given: a = bq + r
 q > 0 and r lies in between 0 and b
 i.e. q > 0 and 0 ≤ r < b
Question 2.
 Can you find the HCF of 1.2 and 0.12? Justify your answer. (Page No. 4)
 Answer:
 Given: 1.2 and 0.12
 we have 1.2 = \(\frac{12}{10}\) = \(\frac{120}{100}\)
 0.12 = \(\frac{12}{100}\)
 Now considering the numerators 12 and 120, their HCF is 12.
 ∴ HCF of 1.2 and 0.12 is \(\frac{12}{100}\) = 0.12
 i.e., if x is a factor of y then x is the HCF of x and y.
Question 3.
 If r = 0, then what is the relationship between a, b and q in a = bq + r of Euclid divison lemma? (Page No. 6)
 Answer:
 Given: r = 0 in a = bq + r then a = bq
 i.e., b divides a completely.
 i.e., b is a factor of a.

Question 1.
 Express 2310 as a product of prime factors. Also see how your friends have factorized the number. Have they done it as you ? Verify your final product with your friend’s result. Try this for 3 or 4 more numbers. What do you conclude? (Page No. 7)
 Answer:
 Given: 2310
 2310 = 2 × 1155
 = 2 × 3 × 385
 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 77
 2310 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11
 
 We notice that this prime factorization is unique.
 And also notice that prime factorization of any number is unique i.e., every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes and this factorization is unique.
 E.g: 144 = 2 × 72
 = 2 × 2 × 36
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 18
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 9
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
 = 24 × 32
 320 = 2 × 160
 = 2 × 2 × 80
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 40
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 20
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 10
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
 = 26 × 5
 125 = 5 × 25
 = 5 × 5 × 5
 = 53
Question 2.
 Find the HCF and LCM of the following given pairs of numbers by prime factorization, (Page No. 8)
 i) 120, 90
 Answer:
 We have 120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
 = 23 × 3 × 5
 90 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
 = 2 × 32 × 5
 
 ∴ HCF = 2 × 3 × 5 = 30
 LCM = 2<sup>3</sup> × 3<sup>2</sup> × 5 = 360
ii) 50, 60
 Answer:
 We have
 50 = 2 × 5 × 5 = 2 × 52
 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 22 × 3 × 5
 
 ∴ HCF = 2 × 5 = 10
 LCM = 22 × 3 × 52 = 300
iii) 37, 49
 Answer:
 We have
 37 = 1 × 37
 49 = 7 × 7 = 72
 ∴ HCF = 1
 LCM = 37 × 72
 Note: H.C.F. of two relatively prime numbers is 1 and LCM is equal to product of the numbers.

Question 1.
 Show that 3n × 4m cannot end with the digit 0 or 5 for any natural numbers ‘n’ and’m’. (Page No. 8)
 Answer:
 Given number is 34 × 4m.
 So the prime factors to it are 3 and 2 only.
 I: but if a number want to be end with zero it should have 2 and 5 as its prime factors, but the given hasn’t ‘5’ as its prime factor.
 So it cannot be end with zero.
 II : now if a number went to be end with 5 it should have ‘5’ as its one of prime factors. But given 3n × 4m do not have 5 as a factor.
 So it cannot be end with 5.
 Hence proved.

 i) \(\frac{3}{4}\)
 ii) \(\frac{7}{25}\)
 iii) \(\frac{51}{64}\)
 iv) \(\frac{14}{25}\)
 v) \(\frac{80}{100}\)
 Answer:
 i) \(\frac{3}{4}\)
 \(\frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{3}{2 \times 2}\) = \(\frac{3}{2^{2}}\)
 
 Decimal form of \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 0.75
ii) \(\frac{7}{25}\)
 \(\frac{7}{25}\) = \(\frac{7}{5 \times 5}\) = \(\frac{7}{5^{2}}\)
 
 Decimal form of \(\frac{7}{25}\) = 0.28
iii) \(\frac{51}{64}\)
 \(\frac{51}{64}\) = \(\frac{51}{2^{6}}\)
 [∵ 64 = 2 × 32
 = 22 × 16
 = 23 × 8
 = 24 × 4 = 25 × 2 = 26]
 
 Decimal form of \(\frac{51}{64}\) = 0.796875
iv) \(\frac{14}{25}\)
 
v) \(\frac{80}{100}\)
 \(\frac{80}{100}\) = \(\frac{80}{2^{2} \times 5^{2}}\) = \(\frac{80}{10^{2}}\) = 0.80

Question 3.

 i) \(\frac{1}{3}\)
 ii) \(\frac{2}{7}\)
 iii) \(\frac{5}{11}\)
 iv) \(\frac{10}{13}\)
 Answer:
 i) \(\frac{1}{3}\)
 \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 0.3333…. = \(0 . \overline{3}\)
 Block of digits, repeating in the quotient = period = 3.
ii) \(\frac{2}{7}\)
 Decimal form of \(\frac{2}{7}\) = 0.285714….
 Repeating part/period = 285714
 ∴ \(\frac{2}{7}\) = \(0 . \overline{285714}\)
iii) \(\frac{5}{11}\)
 Period = 45
 Decimal form of \(\frac{5}{11}\) = 0.454545.
 = \(0 . \overline{45}\)
iv) \(\frac{10}{13}\)
 Decimal form of \(\frac{10}{13}\) = 0.769230.
 = \(0 . \overline{769230}\)
 Period = 769230

Question 1.
 Write the nature of y, a and x in y = ax. Can you determine the value of x for a given y? Justify your answer. (Page No. 17)
 Answer:
 y = ax here a ≠ 0
 We can determine the value of ‘x’ for a given y.
 for example y = 5, a = 2
 We cannot express y = ax for y = 5, a = 2 and for y = 7, a = 3, we cannot express seven (7) as a power of 3.
Question 2.
 You know that 21 = 2, 41 = 4, 81 = 8 and 101 = 10. What do you notice about the values of log2 2, log4 4, log8 8 and log10 10? What can you generalise from this?  (Page No. 18)
 Answer:
 From the graph log2 2 = log4 4 = log8 8 = log10 10 = 1
 We conclude that loga a = 1 where a is a natural number.
Question 3.
 Does log10 0 exist? (Page No. 18)
 Answer:
 No, log10 0 doesn’t exist, i.e ax ≠ 0 ∀ a, x ∈ N.
Question 4.
 We know that, if 7 = 2x then x = log2 7. Then what is the value of \(2^{\log _{2} 7}\)? Justify your answer. Generalise the above by taking some more examples for \(\mathbf{a}^{\log _{\mathrm{a}} \mathbf{N}}\). (Page No. 21)
 Answer:
 We know that if 7 = 2x then x = log2 7
 We want to find the value of \(2^{\log _{2} 7}\);
 Now put log2 7 = x in the given
 ∴ \(2^{\log _{2} 7}\) = 2x = 7 (given)
 ∴ \(2^{\log _{2} 7}\) = 7
 Thus \(\mathbf{a}^{\log _{\mathrm{a}} \mathbf{N}}\) = N
a) \(3^{\log _{3} 8}\)
 Answer:
 If x = \(3^{\log _{3} 8}\) then
 log3 x = log3 8
 ⇒ x = 8
b) \(5^{\log _{5} 10}\)
 Answer:
 If y = \(5^{\log _{5} 10}\)
 then log5 y = log5 10
 ⇒ y = 10

Question 1.
 Write the powers to which the bases to be raised in the following.  (Page No. 18)
 i) 64 = 2x
 Answer:
 64 = 2x
 We know that
 64 = 2 × 32
 = 2 × 2 × 16
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 8
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 4
 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
 64 = 26
 ⇒ x = 6

ii) 100 = 5b
 Answer:
 Here also 100 cannot be written as any power of 5.
 i.e., there exists no integer for b such that 5b = 100
iii) \(\frac{1}{81}\) = 3c
 Answer:
 We know that 81 = 3 x 27
 = 3 × 3 × 9
 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
 = 34
 ∴ \(\frac{1}{81}\) = 3-4   [∵ a-m = \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{m}}}\)]
 ∴ c = – 4
iv) 100 = 10z
 Answer:
 100 = 102
 z = 2
v) \(\frac{1}{256}\) = 4a
 Answer:
 We know that 256 = 4 × 64
 = 4 × 4 × 16
 = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
 ∴ \(\frac{1}{256}\) = 4-4
 ∴ a = – 4
