Muft Shiksha™ एक 100% Free Education Portal है 🇮🇳, जिसका उद्देश्य Class 9–12 के हर विद्यार्थी तक High-Quality Education को पूरी तरह मुफ्त पहुँचाना है। 🇮🇳 हम मानते हैं कि अच्छी शिक्षा किसी student की आर्थिक स्थिति पर निर्भर नहीं होनी चाहिए। 🇮🇳 हर विद्यार्थी को वही Quality Study Material, MCQs, Quizzes, Exam Preparation, Concept-Based Learning और Bilingual Support मिलना चाहिए, जो आमतौर पर महंगी Coaching या Premium Platforms में मिलता है। Muft Shiksha™ 🇮🇳 इसी सोच के साथ बनाया गया है
In this Class 9 Mathematics topic from the Number Systems chapter, students explore rational numbers as numbers that can be written in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not zero. They learn to represent and compare them on the number line, identify equivalent forms, and perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The topic also develops understanding of properties such as closure, commutativity, associativity, and distributivity, helping students apply rational numbers accurately in mathematical problems.

Question 1ExpertLevel 19
Which number is rational but not an integer?
Correct answer: C
\(\frac{9}{4}\) is the ratio of two integers, 9 and 4, so it is rational. Its value is 2.25, which is not an integer. Both \(-4\) and \(\sqrt{16}=4\) are integers, whereas \(\sqrt{7}\) is irrational. Exam tip: first check whether a number can be written as \(\frac{p}{q}\), where \(p,q\) are integers and \(q\ne0\), then check whether its value is an integer.
Which number can be written in the form \(\frac{p}{q}\), where (p) and (q) are integers and (q\ne0)?
Correct answer: C
\(0.\overline{37}=0.373737\ldots\) is a recurring decimal, so it is a rational number. It can be written as \(\frac{37}{99}\), where both numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is non-zero. In contrast, \(\sqrt{11}\) and \(\sqrt{13}\) are square roots of non-perfect squares and are irrational; \(\pi\) is also irrational. Exam tip: every terminating or recurring decimal is rational.
If \(\frac{m}{n}\) is a rational number and (n\ne0), what type of numbers are (m) and (n)?
Correct answer: B
By definition, a rational number is written as \(\frac{m}{n}\), where both \(m\) and \(n\) are integers and \(n\ne0\). Therefore, integers is the correct option. “Natural numbers only” is incorrect because \(m\) can be zero or negative, as in \(-\frac{3}{5}\). Exam tip: in a rational number, the numerator and denominator are integers, but the denominator must not be zero.
