Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of :
Q.1 (i) 135 and 225
Since 225 > 135,
Applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
we get,
225 = 135 × 1 + 90
Now consider, divisor 90 and dividend 135
applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
we get,
135 = 90 × 1 + 45
Now consider, divisor 45 and dividend 90
applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
we get,
90 = 45 × 2 + 0
since remainder = 0

Now consider, divisor 51 and dividend 102
applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
we get,

14. Sol. Let be any positive odd integer
a and b = 6,
Applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
we get
a 6q

The possible remainders are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
a 6q
= or 6q + 1 or 6q + 2 or 6q + 3 or 6q + 4 or 6q + 5

For 32 & 616
We get the answer by dividing

If we arrange them

Now, for 4 columns
We want to arrange in

That means find maximum

Exercise 1.1
16. Sol.
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?
Q.3
Since 616 > 32,
Applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
we get,
616 = 32 × 19 + 8
Now consider, divisor 8 and dividend 32
applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
we get,
32 = 8 × 4 + 0
since remainder = 0
HCF (616, 32) = 8
Dividend =
Divisor × Question + Reminder
The number of columns must be selected in such a way that it must be
maximum and must divide both the numbers i.e. 616 and 32.
Maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8.

Exercise 1.1
17. Sol.
Show that every positive even integer is of the form 2q, and that every
positive odd integer is of the form 2q + 1, where q is some integer.
Q
Let a be any positive integer
and b = 2.
By Euclid’s algorithm,
Then,
a = 2q + r,
for some integer q ≥ 0, and r = 0 or r = 1, because 0 ≤ r < 2.
So, a = 2q or 2q + 1
If a is of the form 2q, then a is an even integer.
Also, a positive integer can be either even or odd.
Therefore, any positive odd integer is of the form 2q + 1

27. Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3, where q is
some integer.
Q.
Let us start with taking a, where a is a
positive odd integer.
We apply the division algorithm with a
and b = 4.
Since 0 ≤ r < 4,
That is, a can be or 4q + 1, or 4q + 2, or 4q + 3,
where q is the quotient.
However, since a is odd, a cannot be 4q or 4q + 2
Therefore, any odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3.
…….(since they are both divisible by 2).
By Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
a 4q
= + r where 0 < r < 4
the possible remainders are 0, 1, 2, 3,
4q,
28. Let a be any positive integer
and b = 4
Show that n2 – 1 is divisible by 8, if n is an odd positive integer.
Q.
Any odd positive integer n can be written in form
of 4q + 1 or 4q + 3.
By Euclid’s Division Algorithm,
a 4q
= + r where 0 < r < 4
The possible remainders are 0, 1, 2, 3
a 4q
= or 4q + 1 or 4q + 2 or 4q + 3,
where q is some integer
Case 1 : If, n = 4q + 1
n2
– 1 = (4q + 1)2 – 1
= 16q2 + 8q + 1 – 1
= 16q2 + 8q
= (8q) (2q + 1)
Here, the above result is multiple of 8.
Hence, it is divisible by 8.
We know, (a + b)2 = (a2 + 2ab + b2)
29. Show that n2 – 1 is divisible by 8, if n is an odd positive integer.
Q.
Case 2 : If, n = 4q + 3
n2 – 1 = (4q + 3)2 – 1
= 16q2 + 24q + 9 – 1

Here, the above result is multiple of 8.
Hence, it is divisible by 8.

Let a be any positive integer
and b = 4
Any odd positive integer n can be written in form
of 4q + 1 or 4q + 3.
By Euclid’s Division Algorithm,

The possible remainders are 0, 1, 2, 3
a 4q

[ where = m2 + n2 + m + n ]
Here, in the above result 4q is even,
therefore 4q + 2 is also even .
And comparing with a = bq + r, here when
divisor is 4, remainder is 2.
Hence it is not divisible by 4.
Prove that if x and y are odd positive integers, then x2 + y2 is even but not divisible

After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point.

Therefore LCM of 18 & 12

Q.5
For e.g. 10, 20, 30,…
These nos. are
divisible by 5
If the number 6n for any n N ends with the digit ‘0’,
then it is divisible by 5.
That means the prime factorisation of 6n must contain the
prime number 5.
But,
6n = 6 6 6 ….
That can also be written as,
6n = 2 3 2 3 2 3 ….
It is not possible to
get prime number 5
But this is not possible, because the primes in the
prime factorisation of 6n are 2 and 3.
By Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
there are no other prime numbers except 2 and 3 in the
factorisation of 6n.
So, there is no natural number for which 6n ends with the digit 0.

67. Here,
a2
2b2
– 7b2
is an rational number
This implies, 10 is also rational number.
But, we know that 10 is an irrational number
2 + 5 is an irrational number.
Therefore, there is a contradiction and our
assumption is wrong
2 + 5 is not a rational number.
