Rational Numbers Exercise 1A Solution :
Question no – (1)
Solution :
(a) 2/9
∴ Four rational numbers equivalent to
= 2/9
= 4/18
= 8/36
= 6/27
(b) – 3/5
∴ Four rational numbers equivalent to
= – 3/5
= – 6/10
= – 9/15
= – 12/20
(c) 7/- 11
∴ Four rational numbers equivalent to
= 7/- 11
= 14/- 22

Solution :
(a) – 7 and – 3
Gap between number,
= – 7 (-3)
= – 7 + 3
= 4
Rational numbers, – 4/4
= – 1, – 2. 4/4
= – 2, – 3
∴ The three rational number between -7 and -3 are -1, -2, -3
(b) – 2/7 and 6/7
Gap between number,
= 6/7 + 2/7
= 8/7
we have 8/7 × 4
= 2/7
Rational numbers, 1. 2/7
= 2/7, 2.2/7

Rational Numbers Exercise 1E Solution :
Question no – (1)
Solution :
As per the question,
A group of friends hike = 5 3/4 km,
Stops for lunch and hike = 3 1/5 km.
∴ They total hike,
= 5 3/4 + 3 1/5
= 23/4 + 16/5
= 115 + 64/20
= 179/20 km
Hence, they hike 179/20 km.
Question no – (2)
Solution :
According to the question,
Ms Joshi walks her dog each day = 4/5 km
Total distance Ms Joshi walks her dog in 6 days = ?
∴ Total distance by Joshi
= 6 × 4/5
= 24/5 km
Therefore, distance Ms Joshi walks her dog in 6 days will be 24/5 km.
Question no – (3)
Solution :
As per the given question,
Priya completes painting each day = 1/20
She complete in 5 days = ?
∴ Priya complete her painting in 5 days
= 1/20 × 5
= 1/4
Hence, in 5 days Priya complete 1/4 of her painting.
Question no – (4)
Solution :
Oxygen Left in tank,
= 219 2/3 – 32 1/3
= 659 – 97/3
= 562/3
Unused space in tank,
= 245 3/8 – 562/3
= 245 × 9 – 4496/24
= 5889 – 4496/24
= 1393/24L
Therefore, 1393/24L space in the tank is unused.
Question no – (5)
Solution :
Water tank Thickness = 25/32 …(as per the question)
∴ Outer circle diameter,
= + 25/32 + 25/32
= 50/32
∴ Inner circle diameter,
= 3.5 – 50/32
= 1120 – 500/320
= 620/320
= 31/16
Hence, the inside diameter of the pipe will be 31/16
Question no – (6)
Solution :
First, Perimeter of rectangle,
= 2 (12 – 1/2 + 5 1/5)
= 2 (25/2 + 26/5)
= 2 × 125 + 52/10
= 177/5
Now, Area of rectangle,
= 12 1/2 × 5 1/5
= 25/2 × 25/5
= 65 m2
∴ Area of a square,
= 1 × 1
= 1m2
So, if there is 4 square, then 4 m2 area.
Hence, Unused land,
= 65 – 4
= 61 m2
Question no – (7)
Solution :
Let, the boy has = x Rs
Then he spend = 3/5x
Remained each,
= x – 3/5x
= 2x/5
then again he spend,
= 2x/5 × 1/4, x/10
Remaining Money,
= 2x/5 – x/10
= 4x – 1x/10
then 3x/10 = 15
= x = 150/3
∴ x = 50
Therefore, at first he had 50 rupees.
Rational Numbers Exercise 1F Solution :
Question no – (1)
Solution :
As per the question,
A group of friends hike = 5 3/4 km,
Stops for lunch and hike = 3 1/5 km.
∴ They total hike,
= 5 3/4 + 3 1/5
= 23/4 + 16/5
= 115 + 64/20
= 179/20 km
Hence, they hike 179/20 km.
Question no – (2)
Solution :
According to the question,
Ms Joshi walks her dog each day = 4/5 km
Total distance Ms Joshi walks her dog in 6 days = ?
∴ Total distance by Joshi
= 6 × 4/5
= 24/5 km
Therefore, distance Ms. Joshi walks her dog in 6 days will be 24/5 km.
Question no – (3)
Solution :
As per the given question,
Priya completes painting each day = 1/20
She complete in 5 days = ?
∴ Priya complete her painting in 5 days
= 1/20 × 5
= 1/4
Hence, in 5 days Priya complete 1/4 of her painting.
Question no – (4)
Solution :
Oxygen Left in tank,
= 219 2/3 – 32 1/3
= 659 – 97/3
= 562/3
Unused space in tank,
= 245 3/8 – 562/3
= 245 × 9 – 4496/24
= 5889 – 4496/24
= 1393/24L
Therefore, 1393/24L space in the tank is unused.
Question no – (5)
Solution :
Water tank Thickness = 25/32 …(as per the question)
∴ Outer circle diameter,
= + 25/32 + 25/32
= 50/32
∴ Inner circle diameter,
= 3.5 – 50/32
= 1120 – 500/320
= 620/320
= 31/16
Hence, the inside diameter of the pipe will be 31/16
Question no – (6)
Solution :
First, Perimeter of rectangle,
= 2 (12 – 1/2 + 5 1/5)
= 2 (25/2 + 26/5)
= 2 × 125 + 52/10
= 177/5
Now, Area of rectangle,
= 12 1/2 × 5 1/5
= 25/2 × 25/5
= 65 m2
∴ Area of a square,
= 1 × 1
= 1m2
So, if there is 4 square, then 4 m2 area.
Hence, Unused land,
= 65 – 4
= 61 m2
Question no – (7)
Solution :
Let, the boy has = x Rs
Then he spend = 3/5x
Remained each,
= x – 3/5x
= 2x/5
then again he spend,
= 2x/5 × 1/4, x/10
Remaining Money,
= 2x/5 – x/10
= 4x – 1x/10
then 3x/10 = 15
= x = 150/3
∴ x = 50
Therefore, at first he had 50 rupees.
