IV. Assertion and Reason Based Questions
In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is given followed by a
corresponding statement of Reason (R). Choose the correct answer from the options below: (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.
1. Assertion (A): The product of a rational and an irrational number is always irrational.
Reason (R): √ 2 × √ 3 = √ 6 which is an irrational number.
2. Assertion (A): x3+y3+z3−3xyz=(x+y+z)(x2+y2+z2−xy−yz−zx).
Reason (R): This is a standard algebraic identity.
3. Assertion (A): The point (0,5) lies on the x-axis.
Reason (R): A point on the x-axis has its y-coordinate equal to zero.
V. Case Based Questions
Read the following scenarios carefully and answer the questions based on them.
1. Number Line Representation Three friends, Ankit, Rahul, and Priya, are discussing
different types of numbers. Ankit says that all numbers can be represented on a number
line. Rahul agrees and asks Priya to locate √ 2 on the number line. Priya thinks about
how to do this using a geometric construction.
(a) Is Ankit's statement correct? Justify your answer.
(b) Describe the steps Priya would take to represent √ 2 on the number line.
(c) What kind of number is √ 2?
(d) If Priya wants to represent √ 5 on the number line, what would be the length of the
perpendicular she needs to draw at point 2 on the number line?
2. POLYNOMIALS: Mr. Sharma is designing a new rectangular garden pathway. He has
decided that the length of the pathway will be (x+5) meters and its width will be (x−2)
meters, where 'x' is a positive integer. He also plans to plant flowers in a square section
within the pathway, with a side length of (x−3) meters.
(a) Write a polynomial expression for the area of the entire pathway.
(b) Write a polynomial expression for the area of the square section where flowers are to
be planted.
(c) If the area of the remaining pathway (excluding the flower section) is 3x+19 square
meters, form an equation and find the value of x.
School Map A class 9 student is given a map of their school playground. The map uses a
coordinate system where the origin (0,0) represents the main gate. Different locations in
the playground are marked by coordinates.
The swings are at P(4, 3), the basketball court at Q(-2, 5), the football field at R(-3, -4),
and the principal's office at S(5, -1).
(a) What is the distance of the swings from the y-axis?
(b) In which quadrant is the basketball court located?
(C) Plot the locations of the basketball court and the football field on a Cartesian plane (you can
describe their positions relative to the axes if a drawing is not feasible).
