Rational Number

Answers

1. Option A

2. (-1/2)

Solution: => 4/10*-6/14-2/28-6/14*6/10

=> 4/10*-6/14+(-6/14)*6/10-2/28
=> -6/14 (4/10+6/10)-2/28
=> -6/14*1-2/28
=> -13-1/28 = -1/2

3. Option A

4. Two

5. Option A

6. Non zero

7. a*d=b*c

8. Addition , Subtraction and Multiplication

9. Option A

10. 7/10 , 11/15 ,23/30,4/5

Solution: 2/3 < 5/6

let x = 2/3 , y = 5/6 and n= 4
therefore d= y-x/n+1 =5/6-2/3/4+1 = 5-2*2/6/5 = 5-4/5*6 = 1/30
Required numbers are :
= x+d , x+2d , x+3d and x + 4d
= 2/3 +1/30 , 2/3 + 2*1/30 , 2/3+3*1/30 and 2/3 +4 *1/30
= 21/30 , 22/30,23/30 and 24/30

12. Zero

13. 7/2, 4, 9/2

Solution: 3 < 5
let x = 3 , y = 5 and n= 3
therefore d= y-x/n+1 =5-3/3+1 = 2/4 = 1/2
Required numbers are :
= x+d , x+2d and x+3d
= 3 +1/2 , 3 + 2*1/2 ,and 3+3*1/2
= 7/2, 4 , and 9/2

14. Option A

15. Decimal

16. Infinitely

17. Option C

Solution: Because ( Zero is called the identity for the addition of rational numbers.)

18. No

19. 10/27 , 11/27 , 4/9 , 13/27 , and 14 /27

20. Subtraction and division
