Question 5.
Given an example to show that subtraction is not associative for rational numbers.
Solution:
For rational numbers \(\frac {5}{4}\), \(\frac {3}{4}\), and \(\frac {1}{4}\), we see that
\(\frac{5}{4}-\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{4}\right)=\frac{5}{4}-\frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\)
and \(\left(\frac{5}{4}-\frac{3}{4}\right)-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\)
Thus, \(\frac{5}{4}-\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{4}\right) \neq\left(\frac{5}{4}-\frac{3}{4}\right)-\frac{1}{4}\)
So, we can say that subtraction is not associative for rational numbers.
Question 6.
‘Rational numbers are commutative under addition but not commutative under subtraction.’ Justify the statement with an example.
Solution:
Let \(\frac {1}{2}\) and \(\frac {1}{4}\) be two rational numbers.
Now, \(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{4}\), which implies that rational numbers are commutative under addition.
Now, \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2-1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\)
But \(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1-2}{4}=-\frac{1}{4}\)
Thus, \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4} \neq \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}\)
So, rational numbers are not commutative under subtraction.
Question 7.
Write the multiplicative inverse of \(\frac {3}{2}\).

Question 8.
Give the reason why the multiplicative inverse of 0 does not exist?
Solution:
The multiplicative inverse for any rational number x is \(\frac {1}{x}\).
Here, the multiplicative inverse of 0 is \(\frac {1}{0}\).
But, \(\frac {1}{0}\) is not defined.
So, the multiplicative inverse of 0 is not defined.
Question 9.
Write the multiplicative and additive identities for rational numbers.
Solution:
1 is the multiplicative identity of a rational number
∵ For all rational numbers let x, x × 1 = x = 1 × x
And 0 is the additive identity for a rational numbers.
∵ For all rational numbers let x, x + 0 = x = 0 + x
The World of Numbers Class 9 Short Question Answer
Question 1.
A person has ₹ 1000. He loses ₹ 750 and then gains ₹ 200. Find his final amount and state whether it is a profit or a loss.
Solution:
Given, initial amount = ₹ 1000, loss = – ₹ 750 and gain = + ₹ 200
∴ Final amount = 1000 – 750 + 200
= 250 + 200

(ii) x = \(\frac {2}{3}\) and y = \(\frac {9}{4}\)
Solution:
(i) We know that x × y = y × x
⇒ \(-\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{14}{15}=\frac{14}{15} \times\left(-\frac{5}{7}\right)\)
∴ \(\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)=\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)\)
which shows LHS = RHS
Hence, it is verified.
(ii) We know that x × y = y × x
⇒ \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{4}=\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}\)
∴ \(\frac{18}{12}=\frac{18}{12}\)
which shows LHS = RHS
Hence, it is verified.

Solution:
Let x = 32.12353535…
∴ 100x = 3212.353535…
and 10000x = 321235.3535…
∴ 10000x – 100x = 321235.3535… – 3212.353535…
⇒ 9900x = 318023
⇒ x = \(\frac {318023}{9900}\)
Question 11.
Find the sum of 0.0333 … and 0.444 ….
Solution:
Let x = 0.0333
⇒ 10x = 0.333…
⇒ 100x = 3.333 [multiply both sides by 10]
∴ 100x – 10x = 3.333…- 0.333…
⇒ 90x = 3
⇒ x = \(\frac {3}{90}\)
Again, let y = 0.444…..
⇒ 10y = 4.444…..
⇒ 10y – y = 4.444…- 0.444…
⇒ 9y = 4
⇒ y = \(\frac {4}{9}\)
∴ Sum of 0.0333… and 0.444… = x + y
= \(\frac{3}{90}+\frac{4}{9}\)
= \(\frac {43}{90}\)
Question 12.
Find the sum of \(2 . \overline{3}\) and \(4 . \overline{15}\).

LHS = x × (y – z)
= 6 × (\(\frac {1}{9}\) – 0)
= 6 × \(\frac {1}{9}\)
= \(\frac {2}{3}\)
RHS = x × y – x × z
= 6 × \(\frac {1}{9}\) – 6 × 0
= \(\frac {2}{3}\) – 0
= \(\frac {2}{3}\)
(ii) We have, x = \(\frac {4}{5}\), y = \(-\frac {9}{10}\), z = \(\frac {43}{15}\)
(a) x × (y + z) = x × y + x × z
This statement follows the distributive property over addition.
LHS = x × (y + z)

RHS = (x × y) × z
= \(\left\{\frac{4}{5} \times\left(-\frac{9}{10}\right)\right\} \times \frac{43}{15}\)
= \(-\frac{18}{25} \times \frac{43}{15}\)

Question 2.
Give one example each to show that the rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Are rational numbers closed under division? Give two examples in support of your answer.
Solution:
We know that rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
We can understand this from the following examples.
Rational numbers are closed under.
Addition
e.g. \(\frac{4}{7}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8+7}{14}=\frac{15}{14}\), which is a rational number.
Subtraction
e.g. \(\frac{4}{7}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8-7}{14}=\frac{1}{14}\), which is a rational number.
Multiplication
e.g. \(\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{14}=\frac{2}{7}\), which is a rational number.
But rational numbers are not closed under division.
If zero is excluded from the collection of rational numbers, then we can say that rational numbers are closed under division.
Now, we see the examples given below.
\(\frac{4}{7} \div \frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{7} \times 2=\frac{8}{7}\), which is a rational number.
But, \(\frac{4}{7} \div 0=\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{1}{0}\), which is not defined and so, it is not a rational number.
Also, \(\frac{1}{2} \div 0=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{0}\), which is not defined and also not a rational number.
Question 3.
Robin writes the properties of rational numbers as
Property 1: For any two rational numbers x and y, x + y = y + x.
Property 2: For any two rational numbers x and y, x – y = y – x.
Property 3: For any two rational numbers x and y, x/y = y/x.
Property 4: For any two rational numbers x and y, x × y = y × x.
Which properties written by Robin are incorrect? Why are they incorrect?
Solution:
Property 2 and Property 3 written by Robin are incorrect, i.e., for any two rational numbers x and y,
x – y ≠ y – x
and \(\frac{x}{y} \neq \frac{y}{x}\)
e.g. Let \(\frac {3}{4}\) and \(\frac {6}{5}\) be any two rational numbers.

Hence, Property 3 does not hold.
Question 4.
Express 0.6 + 0.7 + 0.47 in the form of \(\frac {p}{q}\), where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
Solution:

Question 5.
Prove that √p + √q is irrational, where p and q are primes.
Solution:
Let us suppose that √p + √q is a rational number
and let √p + √q = a, where a is rational.
Therefore, √q = a – √p
On squaring both sides, we get
q = a2 + p – 2a√p [∵ (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab]
⇒ \(\sqrt{p}=\frac{a^2+p-q}{2 a}\)
Since p and q are primes and a is a rational number, \(\frac{a^2+p-q}{2 a}\) is rational.
Therefore, √p is a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that √p is an irrational number, as p is prime.
So, our assumption was incorrect.
Hence, √p + √q is irrational.
Hence proved.

Question 6.
If √ab is an irrational number, then prove that (√a + √b) is an irrational number.
Solution:
Let (√a + √b) be a rational number.
Then, √a + √b = r, where a, b, and r are rational.
⇒ (√a + √b)2 = r2 [squaring both sides]
⇒ a + b + 2√ab = r2 [∵ (A + B)2 = A2 + B2 + 2AB]
⇒ 2√ab = r2 – a – b
⇒ \(\sqrt{a b}=\frac{r^2-a-b}{2}\)
Since r, a, and b are rational numbers.
⇒ \(\frac{r^2-(a+b)}{2}\) is rational number.
⇒ √ab is a rational.
This contradicts, because √ab is an irrational number.
So, our assumption is incorrect.
Hence, (√a + √b) is an irrational number.
Hence proved.

Question 8.
To support helpless people and orphans is the collective responsibility of the whole society. To measure this spirit, a survey was conducted in a city. It was found that 7 out of every 13 households are donating some amount of their income to an orphanage or old age home, or institutions for the physically handicapped.
Based on the given information, answer the following questions.
(i) Write the fraction of households that are donating their income?
(ii) Write the fraction of households that are not donating their income?
(iii) (a) Write the decimal form of the fraction of households that are donating their income.
Or
(b) Write the decimal form of the fraction of households that are not donating.
Solution:
(i) Given, total households = 13
and the number of households, which are donating their income = 7
∴ Fraction of household, which are donating = \(\frac {7}{13}\)
(ii) Given, total households = 13
and the number of houses, which are not donating their income = 13 – 7 = 6
∴ Fraction of households, which are not donating = \(\frac {6}{13}\)
(iii) (a) We have, \(\frac {7}{13}\)

∴ \(\frac{7}{13}=0 . \overline{538461}\)

(ii) Write the \(\frac {p}{q}\) form of \(0.3 \overline{8}\).
(iii) (a) Is \(\frac {2}{11}\) a terminating, non-terminating repeating, non-terminating non-repeating.
Or
(b) If \(\frac {p}{q}\) form of \(0.3 \overline{8}\) is \(\frac {m}{n}\) then find the value of m + n.
Solution:
(i) We have, \(\frac {2}{11}\)

∴ 2 = \(0 . \overline{18}\)
(ii) Let x = \(0.3 \overline{8}\)
⇒ x = 0.3888…
∴ 10x = 3.888… …..(i)
and 100x = 38.888… ……(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
100x – 10x = 38.888.. – 3.888…
⇒ 90x = 35
⇒ x = \(\frac{35}{90}=\frac{7}{18}\)
(iii) (a) \(\frac{2}{11}=0 . \overline{18}\)
∴ \(\frac {2}{11}\) has non-terminating repeating decimal expansion.
Or
\(\frac{m}{n}=\frac{7}{18}\)
∴ m + n = 25
