51. A number 10x + y is multiplied by another number 10a + b and the result comes as 100p + 10q + r, where r = 2y, q = 2(x + y) and p = 2x; y < 5, q ≠ 0. The value of 10a + b may be _______.Answer/ Explanation

Answer:
Explaination:
(10x + y)(10a + b) = 100p + 10q + r
⇒ (10x + y)(10a + b) = 100 × 2x + 10 × 2(x + y) + 2y
⇒ (10x + y)(lOa + b) = 200x + 20(x + y) + 2y
⇒ (10x + y)(10a + b) = 220x + 22y
⇒ (10x + y)(\0a + b) = 22(10x + y)
⇒ 10a + b = 22

78. Find a rational number between √2 and √3 [Delhi 2019]Answer/ Explanation

Answer:
Explaination:
Let p be rational number between √2 and √3
∴ √2 < p < √3
On squaring throughout, we have 2 < p² < 3
The perfect squares which lie between 2 and 3 are 2.25, 2.56, 2.89.
We have, 2 < 2.25 < 2.56 < 2.89 < 3
