Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed
by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Q.1. Assertion: Rational number lying between 1/4 and 1/2 is 3/8.
Reason: Rational number lying between two rational numbers x and y is (x+y)/2
Q.2. Assertion: 0.329 is a terminating decimal.
Reason: A decimal in which a digit or a set of digits is repeated periodically, is called
a repeating, or a recurring decimal.
Q.3.Assertion: Rational number lying between two rational numbers x and y is
(x+y)/2.
Reason: There is one rational number lying between any two rational numbers.
Q.4. Assertion: 5 is a rational number.
Reason: The square roots of all positive integers are irrationals.
Q.5. Assertion: Sum of two irrational numbers 2 + √3 and 4 + √3 is irrational number.
Reason: Sum of two irrational numbers is always an irrational number.
Q.6. Assertion: 78 ÷ 74 = 74
Reason: If a > 0 be a real number and p and q be rational numbers. Then
ap x aq = ap+q
Q.7.Assertion: the rationalizing factor of 3+2√5 is 3-2√5.
Reason: If the product of two irrational numbers is rational then each one is called
the rationalizing factor of the other
Q.8.: √5 is an irrational number.
Reason: A number is called irrational, if it cannot be written in the form p/q, where p
and q are integers and q≠0
Q.9.Assertion : The degree of the polynomial(x2 – 2)(x – 3)(x + 4) is 3.
Reason : A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial.
Q.10.Assertion : The expression 3x4 – 4x3/2 + x2 = 2is not a polynomial because the
term – 4x3/2 contains a rational power of x.
Reason : The highest exponent in various terms of an algebraic expression in one
variable is called its degree.
Q.11. Assertion : –7 is a constant polynomial.
Reason : Degree of a constant polynomial is zero.
Q.12. Assertion : If f(x) = 3x7 – 4x6 + x + 9 is a polynomial, then its degree is 7.
Reason : Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in it.
Q.13.Assertion : If p(x) = ax + b , a≠ 0 is a linear polynomial, then x = – b/a is the
only zero of p(x).
Reason : A linear polynomial has one and only one zero.

Task-2 : ART INTEGRATION PROJECT
Mathematics project on Sikkim
Art Integrated Learning (AIL) is a framework of experiential
learning which provides an equitable learning environment for
all learners through their own access points. This year we will
experience “SIKKIM”.
Art is a creative expression of an individual which has the
ability to communicate human thoughts. Mathematics and art
are related in numerous ways. Mathematics and Art both need
reasoning skills.
Explore MONUMENTS, POPULATION, TEMPERATURE
DIFFRENCE, LITERACY RATE, GENDER RATIO, DANCES,
FEATIVALS, ART FORMS, TRADITIONAL DRESSES,
TRADITIONAL FOODS of SIKKIM and present the same on
one of the following as per your roll number:
➢ comparison of population of last 5 years using bar graphs/histograms (Roll
No. 1 to 6)
➢ comparison of Male – female ratio last three decades using graphs (Roll
No. 7 to 12)
➢ Languages of Sikkim using Pie Charts (Roll No. 13 to 18)
➢ Line graph showing the month -wise average, high and low temperature of
Gangtok (Roll No. 19 to 24)
➢ Production of various crops (in million tonnes) using bar graphs and pie
chart (Roll No. 25 to 30)
➢ Calendar (Roll No. 31 onwards)
Present your finding on A3 sheets and compare the data using
graphs, pie charts, histograms etc.
