Introduction – Real Numbers Class 10 Maths NCERT Solutions (परिचय)

  • Real Numbers (वास्तविक संख्याएँ)
  • English: Numbers that can be represented on the number line are called real numbers.

    Hindi: संख्या रेखा पर दर्शाई जा सकने वाली सभी संख्याएँ वास्तविक संख्याएँ कहलाती हैं।

    Types of Real Numbers – Real Numbers Class 10 Maths NCERT Solutions

    • Natural Numbers: 1,2,3… (प्राकृतिक)
    • Whole Numbers: 0,1,2… (पूर्ण)
    • Integers: …-3,-2,-1,0,1,2… (पूर्णांक)
    • Rational Numbers: p/q, q≠0 (परिमेय)
    • Irrational Numbers: √2, π (अपरिमेय)
    Example: 3/5, -7/2 are rational numbers.

    Hindi: 1 से शुरू होने वाली गिनती की संख्याएँ प्राकृतिक संख्याएँ कहलाती हैं।

    Example: 1, 2, 3, 10

    Whole Numbers – Real Numbers Class 10 Maths NCERT Solutions (पूर्ण संख्याएँ)

    English: Natural numbers along with zero are called whole numbers.

    3. Euclid’s Division Lemma (यूक्लिड विभाजन प्रमेय)

    English: For two positive integers a and b, a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < b.

    Hindi: किसी भी दो धनात्मक पूर्णांकों a और b के लिए a = bq + r, जहाँ 0 ≤ r < b।

    a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b

    5. HCF / GCD (महत्तम समापवर्तक)

    English: The greatest number that divides two or more numbers exactly.

    Hindi: वह सबसे बड़ी संख्या जो दी गई संख्याओं को पूर्णतः विभाजित करे।

    HCF of 8 and 12 = 4

    6. LCM (लघुत्तम समापवर्त्य)

    English: The smallest number that is exactly divisible by given numbers.

    Hindi: वह सबसे छोटी संख्या जो दी गई संख्याओं से पूर्णतः विभाज्य हो।

    LCM of 6 and 8 = 24

    7. NCERT Exercises 1.1 – 1.4

    Exercise 1.1 (अभ्यास 1.1)

    Q1. Use Euclid’s Division Lemma to find HCF of 135 and 225.

    Solution:
    225 = 135 × 1 + 90
    135 = 90 × 1 + 45
    90 = 45 × 2 + 0

    ∴ HCF = 45
    Q2. Find HCF of 196 and 382 using Euclid’s algorithm.

    382 = 196 × 1 + 186
    196 = 186 × 1 + 10
    186 = 10 × 18 + 6
    10 = 6 × 1 + 4
    6 = 4 × 1 + 2
    4 = 2 × 2 + 0

    HCF = 2

    Exercise 1.2 (अभ्यास 1.2)

    Q1. Express 140 as a product of prime factors.

    140 = 2 × 70
    70 = 2 × 35
    35 = 5 × 7

    ∴ 140 = 2² × 5 × 7
    Q2. Find HCF and LCM of 306 and 657.

    306 = 2 × 3² × 17
    657 = 3² × 73

    HCF = 9
    LCM = 2 × 3² × 17 × 73

    Exercise 1.3 (अभ्यास 1.3)

    Q1. Explain why 7 × 11 × 13 + 13 is a composite number.

    7 × 11 × 13 + 13
    = 13(7 × 11 + 1)
    = 13 × 78

    ∴ It is a composite number.
    Q2. Prove that √5 is irrational.

    Assume √5 is rational.
    √5 = a/b (a, b are co-prime)
    ⇒ 5b² = a²

    Contradiction arises.
    ∴ √5 is irrational.

    Exercise 1.4 (अभ्यास 1.4)

    Q1. Find decimal expansion of 13/125.

    13 ÷ 125 = 0.104
    ∴ It is a terminating decimal.
    Q2. Express 17/8 in decimal form.

    17 ÷ 8 = 2.125
    ∴ Terminating decimal.
