True
e.g. 273.2/100 = 2.732 (moving decimal point to the left by two places.
Question 52:
1 is the only number which is its own reciprocal.
Solution:
True
For obtaining the reciprocal of a number, we simply interchange the numerator and denominator.
Hence, reciprocal of 1 will be 1/1, i.e. 1

Question 84:
Measurement made in Science lab must be as accurate as possible. Ravi measured the length of an iron rod and said, it was 19.34 cm long; Kamal said 19.25 cm; and Tabish said 19.27 cm. The correct length was 19.33 cm. How much of error was made by each of the boys?
Solution:
The actual length of an iron rod = 19.33 cm
Measured Ravi = 19.34 cm
Error = Measured value – Actual value
= (19.34-19.33) cm = 0.01 cm
Kamal measured = 19.25 cm
Error = (19.25- 19.33) cm = – 0.08 cm
Tabish measured = 19.27 cm
Error = (19 27 -19.33) cm = – 0.06 cm
