MCQ 31 Mark
Statement-1 (A): There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two integers.
Statement-2 (R):The square of an irrational number is always a rational number.
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-5
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
(c)
Between any two integers a and b, there is a rational number $\frac{a+b}{2}$.Between a and $\frac{a+b}{2}$, there is a rational number $\frac{a+\frac{a+b}{2}}{2}$.Continuing in this manner, we can find infinitely many rational numbers between a and b. So, statement-1 is true.
Let $x=\sqrt{\sqrt{3}}$, be an irrational number, then $x^2=\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number. So, square of an irrational number is not necessarily a. rational number. Thus, statement-2 is not true.
Hence, option (c) is correct.

MCQ 91 Mark
Statement-1 (A): $\pi$ is an irrational number.
Statement-2 (R): Euler's constant e is an irrational number.
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-2
  • Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b)
$\pi$ and $e$ both are irrational numbers. It is not correct to say that is irrational because e is irrational. Thus, both the statements are true and statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1. So, options (b) is correct.

MCQ 101 Mark
Statement-1 (A): If x and y are rational and irrational numbers respectively, then x + y is an irrational number.
Statement-2 (R): If x and y are two irrational numbers, then x + y is an irrational number
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-4
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
(c)
If possible let x + y be a rational number equal to z, when x is rational and y is irrational.
Then,
$z=x+y \Rightarrow z-x=y \Rightarrow y$ is rational $[\because z-x$ rational $]$
This is a contradiction to fact that y is irrational. Hence, x + y is irrational. So, statement-2 is true.$x=\sqrt{2}$ and $y=3-\sqrt{2}$ are irrational numbers but x + y = 3 is a rational number. So, statement-2 need not be true. Thus, statement-1 is true and statement-2 is not true. Hence, option (c) is correct.

MCQ 111 Mark
Statement-1 (A): $\frac{13}{20}$ $\frac{14}{20}$ and $\frac{15}{20}$ are three rational numbers between $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{5}$
Statement-2 (R): A rational number between two rational numbers $p$ and $q$ is $\frac{1}{2}(p+q)$.
  • Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-3
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-3
(a)
Statement-2 is true. Using statement-2, a rational number between $\frac{1}{2}$and $\frac{4}{5}$ is $\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{4}{5}\right)=\frac{13}{20}$. But, $\frac{4}{5}=\frac{16}{20}$, So, rational numbers between $\frac{13}{20}$ and $\frac{16}{20}$ are $\frac{14}{20}$ and $\frac{15}{20}$
Hence, $\frac{13}{20}$, $\frac{14}{20}$ and $\frac{15}{20}$ are rational numbers between $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{5}$.Hence, statement-1 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement-1. So, option (a) is correct.
