NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Exercise 1.1

Solve the followings Questions.

1. Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of:
(i) 135 and 225
(ii) 196 and 38220
(iii) 867 and 255

Answer:

(i) 135 and 225

Since 225 > 135, we apply the division lemma to 225 and 135 to obtain

225 = 135 × 1 + 90

Since remainder 90 ≠ 0, we apply the division lemma to 135 and 90 to obtain

135 = 90 × 1 + 45

We consider the new divisor 90 and new remainder 45, and apply the division lemma to obtain

90 = 2 × 45 + 0

Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 45,

Therefore, the HCF of 135 and 225 is 45.

(ii) 196 and 38220

Since 38220 > 196, we apply the division lemma to 38220 and 196 to obtain

38220 = 196 × 195 + 0

Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 196,

Therefore, HCF of 196 and 38220 is 196.

(iii) 867 and 255

Since 867 > 255, we apply the division lemma to 867 and 255 to obtain

867 = 255 × 3 + 102

Since remainder 102 ≠ 0, we apply the division lemma to 255 and 102 to obtain

255 = 102 × 2 + 51

We consider the new divisor 102 and new remainder 51, and apply the division lemma to obtain

102 = 51 × 2 + 0

Since the remainder is zero, the process stops.

Since the divisor at this stage is 51, Therefore, HCF of 867 and 255 is 51.

2. Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.

Answer:

Let a be a given integer.

On dividing a by 6 , we get q as the quotient and r as the remainder such that,

a = 6q + r, r = 0,1,2,3,4,5

when r =0

a = 6q,even no
where r = 1

a = 6q + 1, odd no
where r = 2

a = 6q + 2, even no
where r = 3

a=6q + 3,odd no
where r = 4

a = 6q + 4, even no
where r = 5

a = 6q + 5, odd no
where r = 6

Therefore, 6q + 1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 are not exactly divisible by 2. Hence, these expressions of numbers are odd numbers.

And therefore, any odd integer can be expressed in the form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3,or 6q + 5

3. An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march?

Answer:

For the above problem, the maximum number of coulmns would be the HCF of 616 and 32

We can find the HCF of 616 and 32 by using Euclid Division algorithm.

Therefore

616 = 19 x 32 + 8

32 = 4 x 8 + 0

8 = 8 x 1 + 0

Therefore HCF (616, 32) = HCF of (32, 8) = 8

Therefore the maximum number of columns in which they can march is  8.

4. Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the square of any positive integer is either of form 3m or 3m + 1 for some integer m. [Hint: Let x be any positive integer then it is of the form 3q, 3q + 1 or 3q + 2. Now square each of these and show that they can be rewritten in the form 3m or 3m + 1.

Answer:

If a and b are two positive integers, then,

NCERT Solutions for Class 10  Maths  chapter 1-Real Numbers  Exercise 1.1

Therefore, r = 0, 1, 2

Therefore, a = 3q or a = 3q + 1 or a = 3q + 2

NCERT Solutions for Class 10  Maths  chapter 1-Real Numbers  Exercise 1.1

Therefore, the square of any positive integer is either of the form 3m or 3m + 1.

5. Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1 or 9m + 8.

Answer:

Let a be any positive integer and b = 3

a = 3q + r, where q ≥ 0 and 0 ≤ r < 3

Therefore, every number can be represented as these three forms. There are three cases.

Case 1: When a = 3q,

Where m is an integer such that m = (3q) 3

Case 2: When a = 3q + 1,

Case 3: When a = 3q + 2,

NCERT Solutions for Class 10  Maths  chapter 1-Real Numbers  Exercise 1.1

Therefore, the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1, or 9m + 8.
