Number System - Solved MCQs with Explanations

Below are important MCQs from ECAT Mathematics Chapter 1 (Number System). Each question includes the correct answer highlighted in green and a detailed explanation to help you understand the concept.

Q1 Easy Real Numbers

Natural numbers are:

A {0,1,2,3,...}
B {1,2,3,4,...}
C {...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...}
D {1,3,5,7,...}
Explanation

Natural numbers (N) = counting numbers starting from 1: {1,2,3,4,...}. No zero, negatives, or fractions.

Q2 Easy Absolute Value

|(-7)| equals:

A -7
B 7
C 0
D 1/7
Explanation

Absolute value |x| = distance from 0, always non-negative. |-7| = 7.

Q3 Easy Number Systems

Which is irrational?

A 3/4
B 0.5
C sqrt(2)
D 22/7
Explanation

sqrt(2) = 1.41421... is irrational (non-terminating, non-repeating decimal, cannot be expressed as p/q).

Q4 Easy Complex Numbers

i^2 equals:

A 1
B -1
C i
D -i
Explanation

i = sqrt(-1), so i^2 = -1. This is the fundamental property of complex numbers.

Q5 Easy Complex Numbers

Conjugate of 3+4i:

A 3-4i
B -3+4i
C -3-4i
D 4+3i
Explanation

Conjugate of a+bi is a-bi. So conjugate of 3+4i = 3-4i. Product of conjugates is always real.

Q6 Easy Real Numbers

sqrt(2) x sqrt(3) =

A sqrt(5)
B sqrt(6)
C 6
D 5
Explanation

sqrt(a) x sqrt(b) = sqrt(ab). So sqrt(2) x sqrt(3) = sqrt(6).

Q7 Medium Absolute Value

|x| = -5 has:

A Two solutions
B One solution
C No solution
D Infinite solutions
Explanation

Absolute value >= 0 always. Since -5 < 0, no solution exists.

Q8 Easy Number Systems

A rational number is:

A A square root
B p/q where q is not 0
C Irrational
D A prime
Explanation

Rational numbers = p/q where p,q are integers and q != 0. Examples: 1/2, -3/4, 5 (=5/1).

Q9 Medium Complex Numbers

|3+4i| equals:

A 5
B 7
C 25
D 1
Explanation

Modulus of a+bi = sqrt(a^2+b^2). |3+4i| = sqrt(9+16) = sqrt(25) = 5.

Q10 Easy Number Systems

Pi is classified as:

A Rational
B Irrational
C Integer
D Natural
Explanation

Pi = 3.14159... is irrational (infinite, non-repeating decimal). 22/7 is only an approximation.
