Q61Written answer

There are 200 natural numbers between 1002 and 1012.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

True.

We know that, natural numbers between a and b = b –a – 1

= 1012 – 1002 – 1

= (101 + 100) (101 – 100) – 1

= 201 – 1

= 200

Q62Written answer

The sum of first n odd natural numbers is n2.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

True.

The sum of odd numbers = ∑ (2n – 1)

= (2 × n × (n + 1))/2 –n

= n2 + n – n

= n2

Q63Written answer

1000 is a perfect square.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

It is not a perfect square.

1000 is a perfect cube, i.e. 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000

Q64Written answer

Solution:-

False.

A perfect square can never have 8 as its unit’s digit.

Q65Written answer

For every natural number m, (2m –1, 2m2 –2m, 2m2 –2m + 1) is a Pythagorean triplet.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

For every natural number m > 1, 2m, m2–1 and m2 + 1 form a Pythagorean triplet.

Q66Written answer

All numbers of a Pythagorean triplet are odd.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Three natural numbers a, b, c are said to form a Pythagorean triplet if a2 + b2 = c2.

Then,

Pythagorean triplet as, 72 = 62 + 52

6 is not an odd number.

Q67Written answer

For an integer a, a3 is always greater than a2.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Let us take one negative integer, i.e. -2

Then, -23 = -2 × -2 × -2 = -8

-22 = -2 × -2 = 4

Here, 4 > -8

Hence, -22 is greater than -23.

Q68Written answer

If x and y are integers such that x2 > y2, then x3 > y3.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Let us take negative integers -2 and -3

Then,

= (-22) > (-12)

= (4) > (1)

and = -23 < -13

= -8 < -1

Q69Written answer

Let x and y be natural numbers. If x divides y, then x3 divides y3.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

True.

If x divides y = y/x is a natural number

and then x3 divides y3 = y3/x3 is a natural number

Q70Written answer

If a2 ends in 5, then a3 ends in 25.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Let a2 be 152

So, 152 = 225

Then, 153 = 3375
