SECTION E
22.Amit is a software engineer working on a project that involves data
analysis. During his work, he encounters various types of numbers and
needs to classify them correctly to apply appropriate algorithms. One day,
while working on a dataset, Amit comes across the following numbers:

1. √50
2. 3.141593
3. -22/7
4. 4
5. 0.1010010001
6. 7+√2

Amit needs to classify these numbers into different categories: natural

numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers,
and real numbers.

Questions:

1. Classify the numbers as rational and irrational numbers.

2. Is 3.141593 a rational or irrational number? Justify your answer

OR

Convert −22/7 to its decimal form.

3. Explain why 0.1010010001 is considered an irrational number.

4. Can 7 + √2 be classified as a rational number? Why or why not?

23. There are 25 trees at equal distances of 5m in a line with a well, the
distance of the well from the nearest tree being 10m. A gardener waters all
the trees separately starting from the well and he returns to the well after
watering each tree to get water for the next.

(a) Find how much distance the gardener has to cover in order to water first
tree.

(b) Find how much distance the gardener has to cover in order to water
second tree.

(c) Find how much distance the gardener has to cover in order to water 25th
tree

. (d) Find the total distance the gardener will cover in order to water all the
trees.
