All questions of Surds for Class 10 Exam

If √(X/0.0081) = ∛0.009, what is the value of X?
  • a)
    0.729
  • b)
    0.0729
  • c)
    0.000729
  • d)
    0.00729
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

To solve √(X/0.0081) = ∛0.009, we find that X = 0.000729 after simplifying the equation.
This means X is a very small number that relates to the cube root of 0.009.

What is the index in the expression 34?
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    4
  • c)
    12
  • d)
    1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The index in the expression 34 is 4, indicating that 3 is multiplied by itself four times.

What is the simplified value of √(9 + √(604 + √(424 + √(273 + √256))))?
  • a)
    8
  • b)
    6
  • c)
    5
  • d)
    7
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The expression simplifies to √36, which equals 6. This involves several steps of simplification through nested square roots.

Calculate the expression 252.7 × 54.2 ÷ 55.4. What is the result?
  • a)
    54
  • b)
    53.2
  • c)
    54.1
  • d)
    54.2
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

The calculation simplifies to 54.2 after proper arithmetic operations. This shows the importance of handling decimal multiplication and division accurately.

What is a Surd in mathematics?
  • a)
    A rational number that can be expressed as a fraction.
  • b)
    The roots of quantities that can be exactly obtained.
  • c)
    The roots of quantities that cannot be exactly obtained.
  • d)
    A whole number that is a perfect square.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

A Surd is defined as the root of a quantity that cannot be expressed as a rational number. Examples include √3 and 2√5.
Surds are important in mathematics because they represent irrational numbers that cannot be simplified further.

What is the result of (625)0.16 × (625)0.09?
  • a)
    125
  • b)
    25
  • c)
    6.25
  • d)
    5
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

The expression simplifies to (625)0.25, which equals 5, demonstrating the laws of indices where exponents are added when multiplying like bases.

Which of the following is NOT a Surd?
  • a)
    √2
  • b)
    √4
  • c)
    √3
  • d)
    √5
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

√4 is not a Surd because it simplifies to a whole number (2). In contrast, √2, √3, and √5 do not simplify further and are thus considered Surds.
