The thermometer shows the temperature in Leh at 5 a.m. Each degree is cut into equal small parts. What is the temperature at the top of the red liquid, marked ?

Class 7Rational NumbersRational Numbers
  • A °C
  • B °C
  • C °C
  • D °C

Step-by-Step Solution

Each degree has 4 small parts, so each mark is °C. The liquid is 1 mark above °C. (Counting the mark downwards from gives the wrong )
Answer: C) °C

Key idea: Recognising rationals

If you can write a number as **integer over non-zero integer**, it is rational. So:

- All integers are rational: 5 = 5/1, 0 = 0/1, −9 = −9/1.
- All fractions with integer numerator and denominator are rational: 3/4, −2/7, 11/3.
- Any decimal that terminates or repeats is rational: 0.25 = 1/4, 0.333… = 1/3.

Numbers that cannot be written as p/q (like √2 or π) are NOT rational — they're irrational. You'll meet those in Class 9.
