PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS
Euclid division Lemma Fundamental Theorem of Airthmatic

given +ve integers a & b, there Every composite number can be expressed
exist unique integers q & r factorised as a product of primes and this
satisfying a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b. factorisation is unique apart from the
order in which the prime factors occur.
Euclid division algorithm

The HCF of any two +ve integers a & b with a > b, is obtained
as follows:
Step 1 : Apply Euclid division lemma to a & b to find q & r,
where a = bq + r , 0 ≤ r < b.
Step 2 : If r = 0, the HCF is b If r ¹ 0 then apply Euclid 's lemma
to b & r to find b1, and r1, where b = b1 r + r1
Step 3 : If r1 = 0, HCF is b, If r1 ¹ 0, then continue the process.
till rn = 0 then bn at this stage will be HCF.

45. By Euclid’s division algorithm, we have a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < 4. On putting b
= 4 we get a = 4q + r where, r = 0, 1, 2, 3.
If r = 0, a = 4q which is even
If r = 1, a = 4q + 1 not divisible by 2
If r = 2, a = 4q + 2 = 2(2q + 1) which is even
If r = 3, a = 4q + 3 not divisible by 2.
So, for any +ve integer q, 4q + 1 and 4q + 3 are odd integers.
How, a2 = (4q + 1)2 = 16q2 + 1 + 8q = 4(4q2 + 2q) + 1 = 4m + 1

49. Let the number divisible by 3 is of the form 3k + r, r = 0, 1, 2
a = 3k, 3k + 1 or 3k + 2
(i) When a = 3k
n = 3k ⇒ n is divisible by 3.
n + 2 = 3k + 2 ⇒ n + 2 is not divisible by 3.
n + 4 = 3k + 4 = 3k + 3 + 1 = 3(k + 1) + 1 ⇒ n + 4 is not
divisible by 3.
Mathematics-X 9
So, only one out of n, n + 2 and n + 4 is divisible by 3.
(ii) When a = 3k + 1
n = 3k + 1 ⇒ n is not divisible by 3.
n + 2 = 3k + 1 + 2 = 3k + 3 = 3(k + 1)
⇒ n + 2 is divisible by 3.
n + 4 = 3k + 1 + 4 = 3k + 5 = 3(k + 1) + 2
⇒ n + 2 is not divisible by 3.
So, only one out of n, n + 2 and n + 4 is divisible by 3.
Similarly do for a = 3k + 2.
50. HCF (404, 96) = 4

If, a = 6q + 1 is an odd integer
If, a = 6q + 2 = 2(3q + 1) is an even integer so not possible
If, a = 6q + 3 is an odd integer
If, a = 6q + 4 = 2(3q + 2) is an even integer so not possible
If, a = 6q + 5 is an odd integer.
54. Let the three consecutive integers be a, a+1, a + 2,
Case I : If a is even,
⇒ a + 2 is the also even
a(a + 2) is divisible by 2
a(a + 2) (a + 1) is also divisible by 2
Now a, a + 1, a + 2 are three consecutive numbers
⇒ a (a + 1) (a + 2) is a multiple by 3
⇒ a (a + 1) (a + 2) is divisible by 3
as it is divisible by 2 and 3 hence divisible by 6.
10 Mathematics-X
Case II : If a is odd
⇒ a + 1 is even
⇒ a + 1 is divisible by 2
⇒ a(a + 1) (a + 2) is also divisible by 2
Again a, a + 1, a + 2 are three consecutive numbers
⇒ a (a + 1) (a + 2) is a multiple by 3
⇒ a (a + 1) (a + 2) is divisible by 3
as it is divisible by 2 and 3 hence divisible by 6.

Now to show that produce of three consecutive +ve integers is divisible by 6.
Any +ve integer a is of the form 3q, 3q + 1 or 3q + 2 for some integer q.
Let a, a + 1, a + 2 be any three consecutive integers.
Case I : a = 3q
(3q) (3q + 1) (3q + 2) = 3q (2m) [as (3q + 1) and (3q + 2) are consecutive
integers so their product is also even]
= 6q m
which is divisible by 6.
Case II : If a = 3q + 1
a (a + 1) (a + 2) = (3q + 1) (3q + 2) (3q + 3)
= 2m3(q + 1) (as (3q + 1) (3q + 2) = 2m)
= 6 m (q + 1)
Case III : If a = 3q + 2
a (a + 1) (a + 2) = (3q + 2) (3q + 3) (3q + 4)

KEY POINTS
1. Polynomial : If x is a variable, n is a natural number and a0, a1, a2, a3, ……….
an are real numbers, then p(x) = an xn + an–1 xn–1 + ......... + a1 x + a0, (an  0) is
called a polynomial in x.
2. Polynomials of degree 1, 2 and 3 are called linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials
respectively.
3. A quadratic polynomial is an algebraic expression of the form ax2 + bx + c,
where a, b, c are real numbers with a  0.
4. Zeros of a polynomial p(x) are precisely the x – coordinates of the points where
the graph of y = p(x) intersects the x–axis, i.e., x = a is a zero of polynomial p(x)
if p(a) = 0
5. A polynomial can have at most the same number of zeros as the degree of the
polynomial.
6. (i) If one zero of a quadratic polynomial p(x) is negative of the other, then
coefficient of x is 0.
(ii) If zeroes of a quadratic polynomial p(x) are reciprocal of each other, then
coefficient of x2 = constant term.

8. If  are zeros of a quadratic polynomial p(x), then

polynomial q(x) and r(x) such that:
14 Mathematics-X
p(x) = g(x). q(x) + r(x) ; g(x) ≠ 0,
[where either r(x) = 0 or degree r(x) < degree g(x)]
Graph of different types of polynomials:
• Linear Polynomial : The graph of a linear polynomial ax + b is a straight line,
intersecting x-axis at one point.
• Quadratic Polynomial:
(i) Graph of a quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax2 + bx + c is a parabola open

POINTS TO REMEMBER
1. Probability is a quantitative measure of likelihood of occurrence of an event.
Number of outcomes favourable to E
2. Probability of an event E =
Total number of outcomes
3. 0 ≤ P (E) ≤ 1
4. If P(E) = 0 then it is an impossible event.
5. If P(E) = 1 then it is sure event.
6. If E is an event than not E( E ) is called complementary event.
7. P( E ) = 1 – P(E) ⇒ P(E) + P( E ) = 1
8. Probability of an event is never negative.
9. Sample space : The collection of all possible outcomes of an event.
