2.

The decimal expansion of an irrational number may be
- Terminating
- Recurring
- Either terminating or non- terminating
- Non-terminating and non-recurring
Correct Answer

A. Non-terminating and non-recurring

Explanation

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. The decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating, meaning it goes on forever without repeating a pattern. Additionally, it is non-recurring, meaning there is no sequence of digits that repeats indefinitely. Therefore, the decimal expansion of an irrational number is both non-terminating and non-recurring.

(16)^3/4 is equal to
- 2
- 4
- 8
- 16
Correct Answer

A. 8

Explanation

The fraction 3/4 can be simplified by dividing the numerator (3) by the denominator (4). The result is 0.75, which can also be expressed as a whole number by multiplying it by 100. Therefore, 0.75 x 100 = 75. Since 75 is divisible by 8, the answer is 8.

The product of a rational and an irrational numbers is:
- Always an integer
- Always an irrational number
- Always a rational number
- Sometimes rational and sometimes irrational
Correct Answer

A. Always an irrational number

Explanation

When a rational number (a number that can be expressed as a fraction) is multiplied by an irrational number (a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction), the result is always an irrational number. This is because multiplying a rational number by an irrational number introduces new irrational components that cannot be simplified or expressed as a fraction. Therefore, the product of a rational and an irrational number is always an irrational number.

The number is
- An irrational number
- A rational number
- not a natural number
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. A rational number

Explanation

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are both integers. Since the question does not provide any specific number, it is not possible to determine if it is a rational number or not. Therefore, the answer "none of these" is the most appropriate.

For rationalising the denominator of the expression we multiply and divide by
- 12
Correct Answer

A.

Explanation

To rationalize the denominator of an expression, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. In this case, the conjugate of the denominator is 12. By multiplying and dividing by 12, we can eliminate any irrational terms in the denominator and simplify the expression.

A rational number between is
- 1/14
- 2/21
- 5/14
- 5/21
Correct Answer

A. 5/21

Explanation

The given question asks for a rational number between two unspecified numbers. The answer, 5/21, is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction, with 5 as the numerator and 21 as the denominator. It is also between the other given rational numbers, 1/14 and 2/21, as it falls between them when arranged in ascending order.
