1. Multiple Choice Questions (3 Marks)
(Each question carries 1 mark)
Q1. If two positive integers p = ab^18 and q = ab^20, where a and b are prime
numbers, then LCM(p, q) is:
(a) a^2b^2 (b) ab^180 (c) a^2b^12 (d) ab^180
Q2. The product of a non-zero rational and an irrational number is:
(a) always irrational (b) always rational (c) rational or irrational (d) one
Q3. If the HCF of 144 and 198 is:
(a) 9 (b) 18 (c) 6 (d) 12
2. Assertion-Reason Questions (2 Marks)
(Each carries 1 mark. Choose the correct option: a/b/c/d)
Q4.
Assertion (A): The HCF of two numbers is 5 and their product is 150. Then their LCM is
30.
Reason (R): HCF(a, b) + LCM(a, b) = a × b
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Q5.
Assertion (A): The least prime factor of a is 3 and of b is 5.
Reason (R): The least prime factor of (a + b) must be 3 or 5.

4. Three Marks Questions (4 Questions × 3 = 12 Marks)
Q10. Prove that √2 is an irrational number.
Q11. In a workshop, the number of teachers teaching French, Hindi, and English are
48, 80, and 144 respectively. Find the minimum number of rooms required.
Q12. Given that √5 is irrational, prove that 2√5 + 3 is irrational.
Q13. Find HCF and LCM of 378, 180, and 420. Verify if HCF × LCM = product of the
numbers.
5. Case Study Questions (2 Case Studies × 4 = 8 Marks)
Q14.
Three traffic lights change after every 48 seconds, 72 seconds, and 108 seconds
respectively. They change simultaneously at 7:00 AM.
a) What is the LCM of the three numbers?
b) At what time will they next change simultaneously?
c) What method do you use to find the time?
d) Why is LCM used here instead of HCF?
