Worksheet – 1

Class – X (Mathematics)
Chapter – 1 (Real Numbers)
1. The LCM of the smallest prime number and the smallest odd composite number is
(a) 10 (b) 6 (c) 9 (d) 18
3 𝑎
2. If the prime factorisation of 2520 is 2 × 3 × 𝑏 × 7, then the value of 𝑎 + 2𝑏 is
(a) 12 (b) 10 (c) 9 (d) 7
3. Given HCF 2520, 6600 = 120, LCM 2520,660 = 252 × 𝑘, then the value of 𝑘 is
( ) ( )
(a) 165 (b) 550 (c) 990 (d) 1650
4. If two positive integers 𝑝 and 𝑞 are written as 𝑝 = 𝑥 𝑦 and 𝑞 = 𝑥𝑦 3 , 𝑥 and 𝑦 are prime numbers,
2 2

then HCF (𝑝, 𝑞) is:


(a) 𝑥𝑦 (b) 𝑥𝑦 2 (c) 𝑥 3 𝑦 3 (d) 𝑥 2 𝑦 2
For the following question, two statements are given – one labelled Assertion(A) and the other
labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (i), (ii), (iii)
and (iv) as given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
5. Assertion (A): The HCF of two numbers is 16 and their product is 3072. Then their LCM = 162
Reason (R): If 𝑎 and 𝑏 are two positive integers, then
HCF (𝑎, 𝑏) × LCM (𝑎, 𝑏) = 𝑎 × 𝑏
6. Show that 12𝑛 cannot end with 0 for any natural number 𝑛.
7. Prove that √3 is an irrational number.
8. Prove that 7 − 2√5 is an irrational number.
9. Show that the number 5 × 11 × 17 + 3 × 11 is a composite number.
10. Find the greatest number which divides 85 and 72 leaving remainders 1 and 2 respectively.

Case-Based Questions:
11. A seminar is being conducted by an educational organisation, where the participants will be
educators of different subjects. The number of participants in Hindi, English and Mathematics
are 36, 84 and 108 respectively.
