I. The product of two irrational numbers can be rational.
II. The sum of a rational and an irrational number is always irrational.

Correct Answer: D [Both I and II]

Explanation:

I: √2 × √8 = 4. II: if r + x were rational, x = (r + x) − r would be rational.

9.  
A number, divided successively by 4 and 5, leaves remainders 1 and 3. What remainder does it leave when divided by 20?

Correct Answer: B [13]

Explanation:

N = 4q + 1 and q = 5k + 3 → N = 20k + 13 → remainder 13 (= 4 × 3 + 1).

10.  
A two-digit number and the number formed by reversing its digits differ by 45. What is the difference between its digits?

Correct Answer: C [5]

Explanation:

(10a + b) − (10b + a) = 9(a − b) = 45 → a − b = 5.

11.  
The least number by which 9,800 must be multiplied to make a perfect cube is:

Correct Answer: C [35]

Explanation:

9,800 = 2³ × 5² × 7²: every power must be a multiple of 3 → multiply by 5 × 7 = 35 (3,43,000 = 70³).
