20. Locate √7 on the number line by root spiral method.
21. The following questions consist of two statements-Assertion(A) and Reason (R). Answer these
questions by selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A.
(b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation for A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

(i) Assertion(A): 7√5, √2 + 21 are irrational numbers.

Reason (R): Every integer is a real and rational but not an irrational.
(ii) Assertion(A): If (16)2𝑥+3 = (64)𝑥+3 , then 42𝑥−2 = 256.
Reason (R): If 𝑎 ≠ 0, then 𝑎𝑚 = 𝑎𝑛 ⇒ 𝑚 = 𝑛 and (𝑎𝑚 )𝑛 = 𝑎𝑚𝑛
(iii) Assertion(A): There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two integers.
Reason (R): The Square of an irrational number always gives a rational number.
(iv) Assertion(A): (3 + √2)(3 − √2) = 11
Reason (R): (𝑎 − √𝑏)(𝑎 + √𝑏) = 𝑎2 − 𝑏

Case Study-Based Questions

22. The historical reason for rationalising the denominator is that before calculators were invented square
roots had to be approximated manually and hence the calculations become easier after a few steps.
1 √2
However, once an approximation was known, it was way easy to calculate (for example: = ) quickly
√2 𝟐
by rationalising the denominator.
Based on the knowledge of rationalisation of denominators answer the following questions:
(i) Identify the irrational numbers among the following?
9
√ , 3√18, √1.44, −√64

(ii) What is the value of (2 − √3)(2 + √3) ?
(iii) What is the rationalising factor of √5 − 2 ?
OR
