NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.2

Exercise 1.2 Class 9 Maths Question 1.
State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answers.
(i) Every irrational number is a real number.
(ii) Every point on the number line is of the form √m , where m is a natural number.
(iii) Every real number is an irrational number.
Solution:
(i) True
Because all rational numbers and all irrational numbers form the group (collection) of real numbers.
(ii) False
Because negative numbers cannot be the square root of any natural number.
(iii) False
Because rational numbers are also a part of real numbers.

Exercise 1.2 Class 9 Maths Question 2.
Are the square roots of all positive integers irrational? If not, give an example of the square root of a number that is a rational number.
Solution:
No, if we take a positive integer, say 9, its square root is 3, which is a rational number.

Exercise 1.2 Class 9 Maths Question 3.
Show how √5 can be represented on the number line.
Solution:
Draw a number line and take point O and A on it such that

OA = 1 unit. Draw BA ⊥ OA as BA = 1 unit. Join OB = √2 units.
Now draw BB1 ⊥ OB such that BB1 =1 unit. Join OB1 = √3 units.
Next, draw B1B2⊥ OB1such that B1B2 = 1 unit.
Join OB2 = units.
Again draw B2B3 ⊥OB2 such that B2B3 = 1 unit.
Join OB3 = √5 units.

Take O as centre and OB3 as radius, draw an arc which cuts the number line at D.
Point D represents √5 on the number line.

Exercise 1.2 Class 9 Maths Question 4.
Take a large sheet of paper and construct the ‘square root spiral’ in the following fashion. Start with a point O and draw a line segment OP1, of unit lengths Draw a line segment P1, P2 perpendicular to OP1 of unit length (see figure). Now, draw a line segment P2P3 perpendicular to OP2. Then draw a line segment P3P4 perpendicular to OP3. Continuing in this manner, you can get the line segment Pn-1 Pn by drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to OPn – 1. In this manner, you will have created the points P2, P3,…… Pn,….. and joined them to create a beautiful spiral depicting √2,√3,√4,…
