Some other extra questions :

Que1. Show that every positive even integer is of the form 2q and that every positive odd integer is of the form 2q + 1 for some integer q.
Ans. Let a be a given positive integer.
On dividing a by 2, let q be the quotient and r be the remainder.
Then by Euclid’s algorithm, we have
a = 2q + r , where 0 ≤ r < 2
⇒ a= 2q+ r , where r = 0 or r = 1.
⇒ a = 2q or a = 2q + 1.
When a = 2q for some integer q, then clearly a is even.
Also, an integer can be either even or odd.
Hence, an odd integer is of the form 2q + 1 for some integer q.

Que2. Show that every positive odd integer is of the form (6q+1) or (6q+3) or (6q+5) for some integer q.
Ans. Let a be a given positive integer.
On dividing a by 6, let q be the quotient and r be the remainder.
Then, by Euclid’s algorithm , we have
a = 6q+r , where 0 ≤ r < 6
⇒ a= 6q+r, where r = 0,1,2,3,4,5
⇒ a=6q or a= 6q + 1 or a= 6q+2 or a= 6q+3
or a= 6q + 4 or a= 6q + 5.
But, a = 6q , a = 6q + 2 , a = 6q + 4 give even values of a.
Thus, when a is odd , it is of the form
6q + 1 or 6q + 3 or 6q + 5 for some integer q.

Que3. Show that 2√3 is irrational.
Ans. If possible, let 2 √3be rational.
Let its simplest form be 2√3=, where a and b are positive integers having no common factor other than 1. Then,
2√3= a/b⇒ √3= a/
Since a and 2b are non-zero integers , so a/2b is rational.
Thus, from (i), it follows that √3is rational.
This contradicts the fact that √3is rational.
The contradiction arises by assuming that 2√3 is rational.
Hence, 2√3is irrational.

Que4. Show that (4 – √3) is irrational.
Ans. If possible, let (4 – √3) be rational. Then,
4 is rational, (4 – √3) is rational
⇒ {4 – ( 4 – √3)} is rational.
⇒ √3is rational.
This contradicts the fact that √3is irrational.
This contradiction arises by assuming that ( 4 – √3) is rational.
Hence, ( 4 – √3 )is irrational.

Que5. Prove that √11 is irrational.
Ans. If possible, let √11be rational and let its simplest form be a/b
Then, a and b are integers having no common factor other than 1, and b ≠ 0.
Now, √11 = a/b ⇒ 11 = a²/b²
⇒ 11b² = a²
⇒ 11 divides a²
⇒ 11 divides a
Let a = 11c for some positive integer c.
Putting a = 11c in (i), we get
11b² = 121c² ⇒ b² = 11c²
⇒ 11 divides b²
⇒ 11 divides b
Thus, 11 is a common factor of a and b.
But, this contradicts the fact that a and b have no common factor other than 1.
The contradiction arises by assuming that √11 is rational.
Hence, √11 is irrational.
