Question 1.
Pick up the rational numbers from the following numbers.
67, −12, 0, 10, 1000
Solution:
Since rational numbers are in the form of ab where b ≠ 0.
Only 67, −12 and 0 are the rational numbers.

Question 2.
Find the reciprocal of the following rational numbers:
(a) −34
(b) 0
(c) 611
(d) 5−9
Solution:
(a) Reciprocal of −34 is −43
(b) Reciprocal of 0, i.e. 10 is not defined.
(c) Reciprocal of 611 is 116
(d) Reciprocal of 5−9 = −95

Question 3.
Write two such rational numbers whose multiplicative inverse is same as they are.
Solution:
Reciprocal of 1 = 11 = 1
Reciprocal of -1 = 1−1 = -1
Hence, the required rational numbers are -1 and 1.

Question 4.
What properties, the following expressions show?
(i) 23+45=45+23
(ii) 13×23=23×13
Solution:
(i) 23+45=45+23 shows the commutative property of addition of rational numbers.
(ii) 13×23=23×13 shows the commutative property of multiplication of rational numbers.

Question 5.
What is the multiplicative identity of rational numbers?
Solution:
1 is the multiplicating identity of rational numbers.

Question 6.
What is the additive identity of rational numbers?
Solution:
0 is the additive identity of rational numbers.

Question 19.
The product of two rational numbers is 1556. If one of the numbers is −548, find the other.
Solution:
Product of two rational numbers = 1556
One number = −548
Other number = Product ÷ First number

Hence, the other number = −187

Question 20.
Let O, P and Z represent the numbers 0, 3 and -5 respectively on the number line. Points Q, R and S are between O and P such that OQ = QR = RS = SP. (NCERT Exemplar)
What are the rational numbers represented by the points Q, R and S. Next choose a point T between Z and 0 so that ZT = TO. Which rational number does T represent?
Solution:
Extra Questions for Class 8 Maths Rational Numbers Q20
As OQ = QR = RS = SP and OQ + QR + RS + SP = OP
therefore Q, R and S divide OP into four equal parts.

Question 23.
One-third of a group of people are men. If the number of women is 200 more than the men, find the total number of people.
Solution:
Number of men in the group = 13 of the group
Number of women = 1 – 13 = 23
Difference between the number of men and women = 23 – 13 = 13
If difference is 13, then total number of people = 1
If difference is 200, then total number of people
= 200 ÷ 13
= 200 × 3 = 600
Hence, the total number of people = 600
