1. Yes. Let x = 21, y =               2 be a rational number.
     Now x + y = 21 +   2 = 21 + 1.4142 ... = 22.4142 ...
     Which is non-terminating and non-recurring. Hence x + y is irrational.
2. No. 0 × 2 = 0 which is not irrational .
                                        2                p
3.     (i)    False. Although             is of the form
                                       3                 q but here p, i.e.,   2 is not an integer.
      (ii)    False. Between 2 and 3, there is no integer.
     (iii)    False, because between any two rational numbers we can find infinitely
              many rational numbers.
                      2                        p
     (iv)     True.        is of the form
                      3                        q but p and q here are not integers.
                                  2
     (v)      False, as   (4 2)       = 2 which is not a rational number.
                                                                                             16/04/18

                                  15            5
     (vii)    False, because           = 5=       which is p, i.e.,    5 is not an integer.
                                   3           1
4.      (i)   Rational, as      196 = 14
       (ii)   3 18 = 9 2 , which is the product of a rational and an irrational number and
              so an irrational number.

   because the exponent of the variable after simplification in each of these is a
   whole number.
2. (i) False, because a binomial has exactly two terms.
    (ii) False, x3 + x + 1 is a polynomial but not a binomial.
   (iii) True, because a binomial is a polynomial whose degree is a whole number
          ≥ 1, so, degree can be 5 also.
   (iv) False, because zero of a polynomial can be any real number.
    (v) False, a polynomial can have any number of zeroes. It depends upon the
         degree of the polynomial.

6. It is not correct. Reason is that differnce between two consecutive marks should
    be equal to the class size.
7. No. Infact the number of children who watch TV for 10 or more hours a week
    is 4 + 2, i.e., 6.
8. No, since the number of trials in which the event can happen cannot be negative,
    and the total number of trials is always positive.
9. No, since the number of trials in which the event can happen cannot be greater
    than the total number of trials.
