Hints:
ii. Since the decimal expansion is neither terminating nor recurring, 0.101001000…. is an irrational number.

iii. \(\frac { 3 }{ 11 }\)
Denominator =11 = 1 x 11
Since, the denominator is other than prime factors 2 or 5.
∴ the decimal expansion of \(\frac { 3 }{ 11 }\) will be non terminating recurring.

v. Let x = [/latex]0.\dot { 4 }[/latex]
∴10 x = [/latex]0.\dot { 4 }[/latex]
∴10 – x = [/latex]4.\dot { 4 }[/latex] – [/latex]0.\dot { 4 }[/latex]
∴9x = 4
∴ x = \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\)

vii. \(\sqrt[3]{61}\) = 4, which is not an irrational number.

viii. \(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{5}}=\sqrt[3 \times 2]{5}=\sqrt[6]{5}\)
∴ Order = 6

ix. The conjugate of 2√5 + √3 is 2√5 – √3 or -2√5 + √3

x. |12 – (13+7) x 4| = |12 – 20 x 4|
= |12 – 80|
= |-68|
= 68

Question 2.

i. 0.555
ii. \(29.\overline { 568 }\)
iii. 9.315315…..
iv. 357.417417…..
v . \(30.\overline { 219 }\)
Solution:
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 5

ii. Let x = \(29.\overline { 568 }\) …(i)
x = 29.568568…
Since, three numbers i.e. 5, 6 and 8 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x = 29568.568568…
1000 x= \(29568.\overline { 568 }\) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(29568.\overline { 568 }\) – \(29.\overline { 568 }\)
∴ 999x = 29539
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 6

iii. Let x = 9.315315 … = \(9.\overline { 315 }\) …(i)
Since, three numbers i.e. 3, 1 and 5 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x = 9315.315315…
∴1000x = \(9315.\overline { 315 }\) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(9315.\overline { 315 }\) – \(9.\overline { 315 }\)
∴ 999x = 9306
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 7

iv. Let x = 357.417417… = \(357.\overline { 417 }\) …(i)
Since, three numbers i.e. 4, 1 and 7 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x = 357417.417417…
∴ 1000x = 357417.417 …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(357417.\overline { 417 }\) – \(357.\overline { 417 }\)
∴ 999x = 357060
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 8

v. Let x = \(30.\overline { 219 }\) …(i)
∴ x = 30.219219
Since, three numbers i.e. 2, 1 and 9 are repeating after the decimal point.
Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000,
1000x= 30219.219219…
∴ 1000x = \(30219.\overline { 219 }\) …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
1000x – x = \(30219.\overline { 219 }\) – \(30.\overline { 219 }\)
∴ 999x = 30189

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 13

iv. \(\frac { 121 }{ 13 }\)
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 14

v. \(\frac { 29 }{ 8 }\)
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 15

Question 4.
Show that 5 + √7 is an irrational number. [3 Marks]
Solution:
Let us assume that 5 + √7 is a rational number. So, we can find co-prime integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ (b ≠ 0) such that
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 16
Since, ‘a’ and ‘b’ are integers, \(\sqrt [ a ]{ b }\) – 5 is a rational number and so √7 is a rational number.
∴ But this contradicts the fact that √7 is an irrational number.
Our assumption that 5 + √7 is a rational number is wrong.
∴ 5 + √7 is an irrational number.

∴ √2 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of √32 .
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 21
Now, 5√2 x √2 = 5 x 2 = 10, which is a rational number.
∴ √2 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of √50 .
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 22
Now, 3√3 x √3 = 3 x 3 = 9, which is a rational number.
∴ √ 3 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of √27 .
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Real Numbers Problem Set 2 23
