  1. $-\dfrac{1}{4}$

  2. $-\dfrac{3}{10}$

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

  4. $-\dfrac{7}{20}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

For a rational number to lie between $\dfrac{-2}{5}$ and $\dfrac{-1}{5}$,it should be less than $\dfrac{-1}{5}$ and greater than $\dfrac{-2}{5}$.
Now,$\dfrac{3}{10}$ is not less than $\dfrac{-1}{5}$.
So,$\dfrac{3}{10}$ does not lie between $\dfrac{-1}{5}$ and $\dfrac{-2}{5}$.

Choose the rational number which does not lie between rational numbers $\dfrac{3}{5}$ and $\dfrac{2}{3}$.

  1. $\dfrac{46}{75}$

  2. $\dfrac{47}{75}$

  3. $\dfrac{49}{75}$

  4. $\dfrac{50}{75}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the options have denominator $75$. Hence, let us convert into equivalent fractions having denominator $75$. 
$\dfrac{3}{5} $ $=\dfrac{3\times 15}{5\times 15} $ $=\dfrac{45}{75}$

$\dfrac{2}{3}$ $=\dfrac{2\times 25}{3\times 25}$ $=\dfrac{50}{75}$

Hence, $\dfrac{50}{75}$ does not lie between the given numbers.

Rationalising the denominator of $\dfrac {5}{\sqrt 3-\sqrt 5}$ is -

maths fractions, decimals and rational numbers representation of rational numbers on number line rational numbers on the number line rational numbers between two rational numbers

  1. $(\frac {5}{2}(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5)$

  2. $(-\frac {5}{2}(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5)$

  3. $(\frac {5}{2}(\sqrt 3-\sqrt 5)$

  4. $(-\frac {5}{2}(\sqrt 3-\sqrt 5)$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

here, $\dfrac {5}{\sqrt 3-\sqrt 5}$

$=\dfrac {5}{\sqrt 3-\sqrt 5}\times \dfrac {\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5}$

$=\dfrac {5(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5)}{3-5}$


$=-\dfrac {5}{2}(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5)$

  1. 56

  2. 120

  3. 20

  4. 44

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Length of the first train$=180m$


 Time taken by  the train to cross the man standing on the platform$=12s$


Speed of the first train$=\dfrac{180}{12}$

                                      $=15m/s$

Speed of the second train$=\dfrac{2}{3}\times15$

                                            $=10m/s$

Relative speed$=15+10$

                          $=25m/s$
 
Let the length of the train be $y$ metres.

$Distance =Speed\times time$

$y+180=25\times12$

$y+180=300$

$y=300-180$
$y=120$
So, the length of the second train$=120m$

 Rational numbers between $\displaystyle \frac{3}{8}$ and $\displaystyle \frac{7}{12}$ are

maths fractions, decimals and rational numbers representation of rational numbers on number line rational numbers on the number line rational numbers between two rational numbers

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{3}{8}, \frac{41}{96}, \frac{23}{48}, \frac{7}{12}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{3}{8}, \frac{41}{196}, \frac{23}{48}, \frac{7}{12}$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{3}{8}, \frac{41}{96}, \frac{23}{148}, \frac{7}{12}$

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A rational number between two numbers $ a $ and $ b = \dfrac {(a +

b)}{2} $
So, a rational number between $\dfrac {3}{8} $ and $ \dfrac {7}{12}$

$ = \dfrac {\dfrac {3}{8} + \dfrac {7}{12}}{2} = \dfrac {23}{48} $

Now, another rational number between $ \dfrac {3}{8} $ and $ \dfrac {23}{48} $

$= \dfrac {\dfrac {3}{8} + \dfrac {23}{48}}{2} = \dfrac {41}{96} $ 

Hence, required two rational numbers between $\dfrac {3}{8} $ and $ \dfrac {7}{12} $ are $\dfrac {3}{8} ,\dfrac {41}{96}, \dfrac {23}{48}, \dfrac {7}{12}$

maths fractions, decimals and rational numbers representation of rational numbers on number line rational numbers on the number line rational numbers between two rational numbers

  1. $\displaystyle 5, \frac{33}{4},\ \frac{3}{2}, -\frac{1}{4}, -2$

  2. $\displaystyle  \frac{13}{4},\ \frac{3}{2}, -\frac{1}{4} $

  3. $\displaystyle 5, \frac{13}{4},\ \frac{13}{2}, -\frac{1}{4}, -2$

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A rational number between two numbers $ a $ and $ b = \dfrac {(a + b)}{2} $

So, a rational number between $ 5 $ and $ - 2 = \dfrac

{( 5 - 2 )}{2} = \dfrac {3}{2} $


Now, another rational number between $ 5 $ and $ \dfrac {3}{2} =

\dfrac {( 5 + \dfrac {3}{2})}{2} = \dfrac {13}{4} $

Another rational number between $ \dfrac {3}{2} $ and $ -2 =

\dfrac {( \dfrac {3}{2}) - 2}{2} = -\dfrac {1}{4} $

 $ \therefore \dfrac {13}{4},  \dfrac {3}{2}, - \dfrac {1}{4} $  are the rational numbers between $ 5 $ and $ -2 $

________ are rational numbers between $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}$ and $\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}$

maths fractions, decimals and rational numbers representation of rational numbers on number line rational numbers on the number line rational numbers between two rational numbers

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}, \frac{7}{64}, \frac{13}{48}, \frac{1}{4}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}, \frac{7}{24}, \frac{13}{48}, \frac{1}{4}$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}, \frac{7}{24}, \frac{13}{68}, \frac{1}{4}$

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A

rational number between two numbers $ a $ and $ b = \frac {(a +

b)}{2} $

So, a

rational number between $\frac {1}{3} $ and $ \frac {1}{4} = \frac {(\frac {1}{3} + \frac {1}{4})}{2} = \frac {7}{24} $

Now, another rational number between $ \frac {7}{24} $ and $ \frac {1}{4} = \frac {(\frac {7}{24} + \frac {1}{4})}{2} = \frac {13}{48} $



Hence, required two rational numbers between $\frac {1}{3} $ and $ \frac {1}{4} $ are $\frac {1}{3} ,\frac {7}{24}, \frac {13}{48}, \frac {1}{4}$
