64. Let us assume, to the contrary, that √5 is rational.
So, we can find integers p and q (q ≠ 0), such that
√5 = p/q, where p and q are coprime.
Squaring both sides, we get
5 = p2/q2
⇒ 5q2 = p2 …(i)
⇒ 5 divides p2
5 divides p
So, let p = 5r
Putting the value of p in (i), we get
5q2 = (5r)2
⇒ 5q2 = 25r2
⇒ q2 = 5r2
⇒ 5 divides q2
5 divides q
So, p and q have at least 5 as a common factor.
But this contradicts the fact that p and q have no common factor.
So, our assumption is wrong, is irrational.
√5 is irrational, 3 is a rational number.

To find the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the petrol of each tanker in the exact number of times, we find
the HCF of 850 and 680.
850 = 2 × 52 × 17
680 = 23 × 5 × 17
HCF = 2 × 5 × 17 = 170
Maximum capacity of the container = 170 liters.

PQ = 10 cm = x + y = 10 …(i)
QR = 8 cm = y + z = 8 …(ii)
PR = 12 cm = x + z = 12 …(iii)
By adding (i), (ii) and (iii),

We get,
⇒ 2x + 2y + 2z = 10 + 8 + 12
⇒ 2(x + y + z) = 30
⇒ x + y + z = 15
⇒ 10 + z = 15 … [From (i)
∴ z = 15 – 10 = 5 cm
From (ii)
y+5=8
y=8–5
y = 3 cm
From (iii)
x + 5 = 12
x = 12 – 5
x = 7 cm
∴ QM = 3 cm, RN = 5 cm, PL = 7 cm

77. Here a = k, b = 4, c = 4

24k2 = 16 – 8k
⇒ 24k2 + 8k – 16 = 0

Here, a = 3k + 1, b = 2(k + 1), c = 1
D = 0 …[∵ Roots are equal

4(k2 + 2k + 1 – 3k – 1) = 0
(k2 – k) = 04 ⇒ k(k – 1) = 0
k = 0 or k – 1 = 0
∴ k = 0 or k = 1
Roots are x = −b/2a ..[As equal roots (Given)
x = −2(k+1)/2(3k+1) ⇒ x = −(k+1)/(3k+1)
When k = 0, x = −(0+1)/0+1 = -1

Using pythagoras theorem,
(l)2 + (b)2 = (h)2
∴ x2 + (x + 14)22 = (x + 16)2
⇒ x2 + x2 + 196 + 28x = x2 + 256 + 32x
⇒ x2 – 4x – 60 = 0

Length of shorter side = x = 10 m
Length of diagonal = (x + 16) m = 26 m
Length of longer side = (x + 14)m = 24m
