Some of the questions and their solutions from NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths: Real Numbers, are as follows:
Q. Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.
Sol.
By Euclid’s algorithm,
a = 6q + r, and r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Hence, a = 6q or 6q + 1 or 6q + 2 or 6q + 3 or 6q + 4 or 6q + 5
`Clearly, 6q + 1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 are of the form 2k + 1, where k is an integer.
Therefore, 6q + 1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 are not exactly divisible by 2.
Hence, these numbers are odd numbers.
Q. An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march?
Sol.
Euclid’s algorithm
616 = 32 × 19 + 8
32 = 8 × 4 + 0
The HCF (616, 32) is 8.
Therefore, they can march in 8 columns each.
