State whether the following statement is True or False.
The whole number $13$ lies between $11$ and $12$.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

False, $13$ does not lie in between $11$ and $12$.

Rather, $13>12$, $13$ lies to the right of 12 on number line.

Multiplying a negative integer for odd times gives  a _____ result 

  1. negative

  2. $0$

  3. positive

  4. none


Correct Option: A

$(-1)\times(-1)\times(-1).......odd\;times\;=\;Negative\;sign$.

The difference between the greatest and least numbers of  $ \displaystyle \frac{5}{9}  $, $ \displaystyle \frac{1}{9}  $, $ \displaystyle \frac{11}{9}  $ is-

  1. $ \displaystyle \frac{9}{2} $

  2. $ \displaystyle \frac{10}{9} $

  3. $ \displaystyle \frac{3}{8} $

  4. $ \displaystyle \frac{9}{10} $


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The ascending order of given numbers is  $ \displaystyle  \frac{1}{9} $,$ \displaystyle  \frac{5}{9} $,$ \displaystyle  \frac{11}{9} $


Here denominator is equal, so greater the numerator greater will be the value.

 $ \displaystyle \therefore  $ Required difference 

$ \displaystyle  \frac{11}{9} $-$ \displaystyle  \frac{1}{9} $=$ \displaystyle  \frac{10}{9} $ 

Let $x$ be a real variable, and let $3 < x < 4.$ Which of the following values, $x$ might have?

  1. $-3.1$

  2. $\sqrt{11}$

  3. $\sqrt{\dfrac{10}{11}}$

  4. $4.1$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$x$ can have any values between $3$ and $4$ so it can be rational or irrational. 
option $c$=$0.9$  and options $A$ and $D$ are outside the given range.
Hence, correct answer is option $B=\sqrt11=3.3$.

The rational number $\displaystyle \frac{-18}{5}$ lies between 

  1. $- 2$ and $- 3$

  2. $- 3$ and $- 4$

  3. $- 4$ and $- 5$

  4. $- 5$ and $- 6$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\dfrac{-18}{5} = -3.6 $
Therefore, it lies between $-3$ and $-4.$

How many times does the digit $3$ appear while writing the integers from $1$ to $1000$?

  1. $298$

  2. $299$

  3. $300$

  4. $301$


Correct Option: C

The number of whole numbers between the smallest whole number and the greatest 2-digit number is:

  1. $101$

  2. $100$

  3. $99$

  4. $98$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The smallest whole number is $0$ and the two-digit greatest whole number is $99$.

So the numbers between $0$ and $99$ are $1,2,....,98$ i.e. there are $98$ whole numbers between $0$ and $99$.

If n is a whole number such that $n + n = n$, then $n =$ ?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$n + n = n$

$2n = n$
Clearly $n = 0$, satisfies 
So $n = 0$ is the final answer.

How many whole numbers are between 437 and 487? 

  1. $50$

  2. $49$

  3. $51$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

No. of whole numbers in between

$=(487 - 437) - 1$
$= 50 - 1$
$= 49$
