Q17: Show that Any Positive Odd Integer Is of the Form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.
Ans: Let a be any positive integer and b= 6.
Then, by Euclid’s algorithm, a=6q+r for some integer q ≥ 0, and r = 0,1,2,3,4,5 because 0 ≤ r < 6.
Therefore, a = 6q or 6q+ 1 or 6q+ 2or 6q +3or 6q+ 4or 6q+ 5
Also, 6q+1 = 2×3q+1 = 2k1+1, where k
1 is a positive integer 6q+3 = (6q+2)+1 = 2(3q+1)+1 = 2k
2+ 1,
Where k
2 is an integer 6q+5 = (6q+4)+1 = 2(3q+2)+1 = 2k
3+1, where k
3 is an integer
Clearly, 6q+1, 6q+3, 6q+5 are of the form 2k+ 1, where k an integer is.
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.
Q18: An Army Contingent of 616 Members are 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?
Ans: We have to find the HCF(616, 32) to find the maximum number of columns in which they can march.
To find the HCF, we can use Euclid’s algorithm.
616 = 32×19+8
⇒ 32 = 8×4+0
Hence, HCF(616, 32) is 8.
Therefore, they can march in 8 columns each.
Q19: 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\[x\]beanypositiveintegerthenitisoftheform\[3q,3q+1\]or\[3q+2 \]. Nowsquareeachoftheseandshowthattheycanberewrittenintheform\[3m\]or\[3m+1\].
Ans: Let a be any positive integer and b=3.
Then a = 3q+r for some integer q ≥ 0
And r = 0,1,2 because 0 ≤ r < 3
Therefore, a = 3q or 3q+1 or 3q+2
Or,
⇒ a
2 = (3q)
2 or (3q+1)

⇒ a = 3k
1 or 3k
2+1 or 3k
3+1
Where k
1, k
2, k
3 are some positive integers
Hence, it can be said that the square of any positive integer is either of the form 3m or 3m+1.
