Q7. Give two rational numbers lying between 0.232332333233332 and 0.212112111211112.

Solution: Let a = 0.212112111211112

And, b = 0.232332333233332...

Clearly, a < b because in the second decimal place a has digit 1 and b has digit 3 If we consider rational numbers in which the second decimal place has the digit 2, then they will lie between a and b.

Let. x = 0.22

y = 0.22112211... Then a < x < y < b

Hence, x, and y are required rational numbers.


Q8. Give two rational numbers lying between 0.515115111511115 and 0. 5353353335

Solution: Let, a = 0.515115111511115...

And, b = 0.5353353335..

We observe that in the second decimal place a has digit 1 and b has digit 3, therefore, a < b.

So If we consider rational numbers

x = 0.52

y = 0.52062062...

We find that,

a < x < y < b

Hence x and y are required rational numbers.


Q9. Find one irrational number between 0.2101 and 0.2222 ... RD Sharma Solutions Ex-1.4, Number System, Class 9, Maths | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics

Solution: Let, a = 0.2101 and,

b =0.2222...

We observe that in the second decimal place a has digit 1 and b has digit 2, therefore a < b in the third decimal place a has digit 0.

So, if we consider irrational numbers

x = 0.211011001100011....

We find that a < x < b

Hence x is required irrational number.


Q10. Find a rational number and also an irrational number lying between the numbers 0.3030030003... and 0.3010010001...

Solution: Let,

a = 0.3010010001 and,

b = 0.3030030003...

We observe that in the third decimal place a has digit 1 and b has digit

3, therefore a < b in the third decimal place a has digit 1. So, if we

consider rational and irrational numbers

x = 0.302

y = 0.302002000200002.....

We find that a < x < b and, a < y < b.

Hence, x and y are required rational and irrational numbers respectively.


Q11. Find two irrational numbers between 0.5 and 0.55.

Solution: Let a = 0.5 = 0.50 and b =0.55

We observe that in the second decimal place a has digit 0 and b has digit

5, therefore a < 0 so, if we consider irrational numbers

x =0.51051005100051...

y = 0.530535305353530...

We find that a < x < y < b

Hence x and y are required irrational numbers.


Q12. Find two irrational numbers lying between 0.1 and 0.12.

Solution: Let a = 0.1 =0.10

And b = 0.12

We observe that In the second decimal place a has digit 0 and b has digit 2.

Therefore, a < b.

So, if we consider irrational numbers

x = 0.1101101100011... y=0.111011110111110... We find that a < x < y < 0

Hence, x and y are required irrational numbers.


Q13. Prove that  RD Sharma Solutions Ex-1.4, Number System, Class 9, Maths | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics is an irrational number.

Solution: If possible, let  RD Sharma Solutions Ex-1.4, Number System, Class 9, Maths | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics be a rational number equal to x.

RD Sharma Solutions Ex-1.4, Number System, Class 9, Maths | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics

Now,  RD Sharma Solutions Ex-1.4, Number System, Class 9, Maths | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics is rational

RD Sharma Solutions Ex-1.4, Number System, Class 9, Maths | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics is rational
