CBSE Class 10 - Maths - CH1 - Real Numbers (Euclid's Division Lemma)

Euclid's Division Lemma

Important Questions asked in Examination...

Euclid (4th BC)

Q1: State Euclid's Division Lemma.

Answer: Given positive integers a and b ( b ≠ 0 ), there exists unique integer numbers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < |b|. where
    a is called dividend
    b is called divisor
    q is called quotient
    r is called remainder.

    e.g. 17 = 5 × 3 + 2

Q2: Prove Euclid's Division Lemma.

Answer: According to Euclid's Division lemma, for a positive pair of integers there exists unique integers q and r, such that
                      a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < b

Let us assume q and r are not unique i.e. let there exist another pair q0 and r0 i.e. a = bq0 + r0, where 0 ≤ r0 < b

⇒ bq + r = bq0 + r0
⇒ b(q - q0) = r - r0                                          ................ (I)

Since 0 ≤ r < b and 0 ≤ r0 < b, thus 0 ≤ r - r0 < b ......... (II)

The above eq (I) tells that b divides (r - r0) and (r - r0) is an integer less than b. This means (r - r0) must be 0.
⇒ r - r0 = 0 ⇒ r = r0

Eq (I) will be, b(q - q0) = 0
Since b ≠ 0, ⇒ (q - q0) = 0 ⇒ q = q0

Since r = r0 and q = q0, ∴ q and r are unique.

Q3: Prove that the product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2?

CBSE Class 9 - CH 12 - Sound (Study Points)

Sound

Visual Representation of Sound Waveform
(image courtsey: openclipart)

Study Points

1. Sound travels from one point to another in the form of waves.

2. Sound is produced due to vibration of different objects.

3. Sound waves are longitudinal in nature.

4. Sound travels as a longitudinal wave through a material medium.

5. Sound travels as successive compressions and rarefactions in the medium.

6. In sound propagation, it is the energy of the sound that travels and not the particles of the medium.

7. Sound cannot travel in vacuum.

8. Sound waves cannot be polarised.

9. The change in density from one maximum value to the minimum value and again to the maximum value makes one complete oscillation.

10. The part or region of a longitudinal wave in which the density of the particles of the medium is higher than the normal density is known as compression.

11. The part or region of a longitudinal wave in which the density of the particles of the medium is lesser than the normal density is called a rarefaction.

12. The distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions is called the wavelength, λ.

Read the following passages carefully and mark out the correct answers from among the alternatives given below each question in every passage:

PASSAGE - 1

The load was very heavy for the old camel. He tried his best to carry it as far as the next village. There his master would be able to get another camel to carry this heavy load. But he was so tired and exhausted that he could not go any further. His master took off the load from the camel’s back and put it on the back of another camel and went his way. A tiger was passing by at this time. He had been hurt by the tusk of an elephant. As the tiger was in pain, he found it difficult to walk. So he lay down by the side of the camel. The camel began licking the tiger’s wound with his long tongue and offered him food that his master had left behind. In a few days, the tiger and the camel recovered. As the tiger was very hungry the old camel told him to kill him and eat his meat. The tiger could not think of killing his friend.
At that time a deer came running towards them. A hunter had shot at him with an arrow. He lay down by the side of the tiger. He told the tiger to kill him and eat his flesh as he did not want the wicked hunter to take him away. The tiger did as he was told. Just then the hunter came on the spot. The angry tiger jumped on him and killed him also. Another young deer was in the bag that the hunter was carrying. The tiger set it free. The tiger and the camel lived happily ever after in the forest.

Q1: The camel began to lick the tiger’s wound because of the

(a) tiger was in pain
(b) tiger was tired
(c) tiger could not walk
(d) the camel was hungry
(e) camel’s tongue is long.
