State whether true or false: 

 $3+\sqrt{6}$ is an irrational number.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

AS we know 3 is an irrational number and $\sqrt{6}$ is also a rational number 

Addition of two rational numbers are always a rational number 
So,  3 + $\sqrt{6}$ is also a rational number

Which of the following is an irrational number? 

  1. $0.14$

  2. $0.14 \overline{16}$

  3. $1.1 {416}$

  4. $0.4014001400014....$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating repeating.

(A) $0.14$ is terminating, so it is a rational number

(B) $0.14\bar{16}=0.141616....$ 

is also rational ( non-terminating repeating ), where digits $16$ are repeating.

(C) $0.1416$ is terminating, so it is a rational number

(D) $0.4014001400014.....$

is an irrational number because it is neither terminating nor repeating.

Each of the following numbers is irrational

State whether the following statement is true or false.

The following number is irrational
$7\sqrt {5}$

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
An Irrational Number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

Let us assume $7\sqrt{5}$ is rational.
Hence, $7\sqrt{5}$ can be written in form $\dfrac{a}{b}$

Where, $a$ and $b$ $(n\ne 0)$ are co-prime.
Hence, $7\sqrt{5}=\dfrac{a}{b}$
$\Rightarrow$  $\sqrt{5}=\dfrac{1}{7}\times\dfrac{a}{b}$

Here, $\dfrac{a}{7b}$ is a rational number, but $\sqrt{5}$ is irrational.

Since, Rational $\ne$ Irrational
This is a contriadition
$\therefore$  Our assumption is incorrect.
$\therefore$  $7\sqrt{5}$ is irrational number. 

 $2-\sqrt {3}$ is an irrational number.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number.

Since, the difference of a rational and irrational number is irrational, hence, $2-\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number.

State whether the following statement is true or false.

The following number is irrational
$6+\sqrt {2}$

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
An Irrational Number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

Let us assume $6+\sqrt{2}$ is rational.
Hence, $6+\sqrt{2}$ can be written in form $\dfrac{a}{b}$

Where, $a$ and $b$ $(n\ne 0)$ are co-prime.
Hence, $6+\sqrt{2}=\dfrac{a}{b}$
$\Rightarrow$  $\sqrt{2}=\dfrac{a}{b}-6$

$\Rightarrow$  $\sqrt{2}=\dfrac{a-6b}{b}$

Here, $\dfrac{a-6b}{b}$ is a rational number, but $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.

Since, Rational $\ne$ Irrational
This is a contriadition
$\therefore$  Our assumption is incorrect.
$\therefore$  $6+\sqrt{2}$ is irrational number. 

Which of the following is always true 

  1. $irrational + irrational =irrational $

  2. $\dfrac{rational }{rational }=rational $

  3. $\dfrac{integer }{integer}=integer$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Counter-example for A: $(\sqrt{2}) + (4-\sqrt{2}) = 4$

Counter-example for C: $\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5$

Proof for B:

Let $q _1, q _2$ be two rational numbers such that $q _2\neq0$.


As they are rational, they can be written as $a/b, c/d$ respectively for some integers $a, b, c, d$. $(b,c,d\neq0)$

$\dfrac{q _1}{q _2}=\dfrac{a/b}{c/d}=\dfrac{ad}{bc}$

Since, $a,b,c,d$ were integers, even $ad$ and $bc(\neq0)$ are integers and therefore, the above expression is rational.

If the product of two irrational numbers is rational, then which of the following can be concluded?

  1. The ratio of the greater and the smaller numbers is an integer.

  2. The sum of the numbers must be rational.

  3. The excess of the greater irrational number over the irrational number must be rational.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A

 $\frac { 2 } { 2 + \sqrt { 3 } }$ is an irrational number

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A

If $a=\sqrt{11}+\sqrt{3}, b =\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{2}, c=\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{4}$, then which of the following holds true ?

  1. $c>a>b$

  2. $a>b>c$

  3. $a>c>b$

  4. $b>a>c$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$a=\sqrt{11}+\sqrt{3}$

$a^{2}=11+3+2\sqrt{33}=14+2\sqrt{33}$

$b=\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{2}$

$b^{2}=14+2\sqrt{24}$

As $\sqrt{33} > \sqrt{24}, a^{2} > b^{2}, a>b$

$c=\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{4}$

$c^{2}=10+2\sqrt{24}$

As $14>10, b^{2} > c^{2}, b>c$

Hence, $a>b>c$.

 $ \displaystyle  \because  \frac{-5}{-3} $= $ \displaystyle  \frac{-5}{-3} $X $ \displaystyle  \frac{-5}{-5} $= $ \displaystyle  \frac{25}{15} $

Every irrational number is

  1. a surd

  2. a prime number

  3. not a surd

  4. none


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

An irrational number is a real number that cannot be represented as a ratio or a simple fraction.


By definition, a surd is an irrational root of a rational number. So we know that surds are always irrational and they are always roots.

For eg, $\sqrt2$ is a surd since 2 is rational and $\sqrt 2$ is irrational.

Similarly, the cube root of 9 is also a surd since 9 is rational and the cube root of 9 is irrational.

On the other hand, $\sqrtπ$ is not a surd even though $\sqrtπ$ is irrational because π is not rational.

Thus, to answer the question, every surd is an irrational number, though an irrational number may or may not be a surd


The answer is Option C.

Which of the following are not a surd?

  1. $\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{5}}$

  2. $\sqrt [ 4 ]{ 3 } $

  3. $\sqrt [ 3 ]{ \sqrt{3} } $

  4. $\sqrt{343}$


Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:

Surds are numbers left in root form (√) to express its exact value. It has an infinite number of non-recurring decimals 

What is the square of $(2 + \sqrt {2})$?

  1. A rational number

  2. An irrational number

  3. A natural number

  4. A whole number


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Square of (2+√2) is (4+2.2.√2+2) = 6+4√2 which is an irrational number

State whether the following statement is True or False.
3.54672 is an irrational number.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$3.54672$ can be written in simple fraction.$\Rightarrow $ Rational number.

State the following statement is True or False
 35.251252253...is an irrational number

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$35.251522253...\Rightarrow$ It is a non-terminating decimal. This number cannot be written as a simple fraction.

Therefore, it's an irrational number.

For three irrational numbers $p,q$ and $r$ then $p.(q+r)$ can be 

  1. A rational number

  2. An irrational number

  3. An integer

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$p,q$ and $r$ are all irrational 
Let $p=q=r=\sqrt2$
$p(q+r)=p.q+p.r$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt { 2 } (\sqrt { 2 } +\sqrt { 2 } )=\sqrt { 2 } .\sqrt { 2 } +\sqrt { 2 } .\sqrt { 2 } =2+2=4$
which is rational as well as integer
Let us take another case in which $p=\sqrt2$ and $q=r=\sqrt3$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt { 2 } (\sqrt { 3 } +\sqrt { 3 } )=\sqrt { 2 } .\sqrt { 3 } +\sqrt { 2 } .\sqrt { 3 } =\sqrt { 6 } +\sqrt { 6 } =2\sqrt { 6 } $
which is an irrational number.
So on applying distributive property on three irrational numbers we can get an integer,a rational as well as an irrational number .
So option $D$ is correct.

Which of the following irrational number lies between $\dfrac{3}{5}$ and $\dfrac{9}{10}$

  1. $\dfrac{\sqrt80}{10}$

  2. $\dfrac{\sqrt85}{10}$

  3. $\dfrac{\sqrt82}{10}$

  4. $\dfrac{\sqrt83}{10}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$\sqrt36<\sqrt{80}<\sqrt{81}$
On dividing with 10, we get
$\dfrac{6}{10}<\dfrac{\sqrt{80}}{10}<\dfrac{9}{10}$

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

  1. If $a$ is a rational number and $b$ is irrational, then $a+b$ is irrational.

  2. The product of non-zero rational number with an irrational number is always irrational.

  3. The addition of any two rational numbers can be an integer.

  4. The division of any two integers is an integer.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sum of rational and an irrational number is rational (i.e., need not to be irrational)

State whether the given statement is True or False :

$2\sqrt { 3 }-1 $ is an irrational number.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\text{Here 1 is a rational number and }$$2\sqrt3$ is a $irrational$ number


And $\text{the difference of rational and irrational is always an irrational number}$

So that $(2\sqrt3- 1)$ is an irrational number.

hence option A is correct.

State whether the given statement is true/false:

$\sqrt{p} + \sqrt{q}$, is irrational, where p,q are primes.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Assume that $\sqrt p  + \sqrt q $ is rational. So,

$\sqrt p  + \sqrt q  = \frac{a}{b}$

$p + q + 2\sqrt {pq}  = \frac{{{a^2}}}{{{b^2}}}$

$\sqrt {pq}  = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{{{b^2}}} – p - q} \right)$

Since the RHS of the above equation is rational but $\sqrt {pq} $ is an irrational number, so the assumption is wrong.

Therefore, it is true that $\sqrt p  + \sqrt q $ is irrational.

State true or false:
$\sqrt{2}$ is not a rational number.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:


Let us assume that $\sqrt{2}$ is a rational number
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}=\dfrac{p}{q}\left [ \dfrac{p}{q}\      is\ in\    simplest\      form\  \right ]$

$\Rightarrow 2q^{2}=p^{2}$

$p^{2}$ is even $\Rightarrow p$ is even $\Rightarrow p=2k$

$2q^{2}=4k^{2}\Rightarrow q^{2}=2k^{2}\Rightarrow q^{2}$ is even

$\Rightarrow q$ is even.

$\Rightarrow p,q$ have 2 as a common factor which is contradiction to assumption.

$\therefore \sqrt{2}=\dfrac{p}{q}$ is a false

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}$ is not a rational.

Is the following are irrational numbers
$\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}$

State True or False

  1. True

  2. False

$\sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+...}}}}$ up to $\infty$ is?

  1. $2$

  2. $3$

  3. $30$

  4. $5$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We have,

$y=\sqrt { 6+\sqrt { 6+....\infty  }  } =\sqrt { 6+y } $

On squaring both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow { y }^{ 2 }-y-6=0$

$\Rightarrow y=3,-2$


But $y$ can not be $-ve$.

Hence, $y=3$ is the answer.

  4. ${ 4x }^{ 2 }$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\sqrt{(729x^{12})^{\frac{1}{3}}}-\cfrac{x^{-2}-x^{-3}}{x^{-4}-x^{-5}}$


$=\sqrt{(3^6x^{12})^{\frac{1}{3}}}-\cfrac{x^{-2}-x^{-3}}{x^{-4}-x^{-5}}$


$=\sqrt{(3^2x^4)}-\cfrac{x^{-2}(1-x^{-1})}{x^{-4}(1-x^{-1})}$

$=3x^2-x^2$

$\=2x^2$

State whether the following statement is true or not:
$7-\sqrt { 2 } $ is irrational.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Let us suppose $7-\sqrt 2$ is rational.

$=>7-\sqrt 2$ is in the form of $\dfrac pq$ where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q\neq0$

$=>\sqrt2=-\dfrac pq+7$

​$=>\sqrt2=\dfrac{-p+7q}{q}$

as $p, q$ and $7$ are integers $\dfrac{-p+7q}{q}$ is a rational number.
$=>\sqrt 2$ is a rational number.

But we know that $\sqrt 2$ is an irrational number.

So this is a contradiction.

This contradiction has arisen because of our wrong assumption that $7-\sqrt 2$ is a rational number.

Hence, $7- \sqrt2$  is an irrational number.

  3. 1.1039

  4. 2.1039


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$\sqrt{4a^{2}+4a+1}+3a=\sqrt{(2a-1)^{2}}+3a$ 
(as $2a< 1$ take $(1-2a)$) 
$\Rightarrow (1-2a)+3a=a+1=\boxed{1.1039}$

Which one of the following is not true?

  1. $\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number

  2. If a is a rational number and $\sqrt{b}$ is an irrational number then $a\sqrt{b}$ is irrational number

  3. Every surd is an irrational number

  4. The square root of every positive integer is always irrational


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

(a) All numbers that are not rational are considered irrational. An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction. An irrational number has endless non-repeating digits to the right of the decimal point. Here are some irrational numbers:


$π = 3.141592…$
$\sqrt {2} = 1.414213…$

Therefore, $\sqrt {2}$ is an irrational number.

(b) Let us take a rational number $a=\dfrac {2}{1}$ and an irrational number $b=\sqrt {2}$, then their product can be determined as:

$a\times b=2\times \sqrt { 2 } =2\sqrt { 2 }$ which is also an irrational number.

Therefore, if $a$ is a rational number and $\sqrt {b}$ is an irrational number than $a\sqrt {b}$ is an irrational number.

(c) By definition, a surd is a irrational root of a rational number. So we know that surds are always irrational and they are always roots.

For eg, $\sqrt {2}$ is a surd since $2$ is rational and $\sqrt {2}$ is irrational.

Surds are numbers left in root form $\sqrt {}$ to express its exact value. It has an infinite number of non-recurring decimals. 

Therefore, every surd is an irrational number.

(d) Let us take a positive integer $4$, now square root of $4$ will be:

$\sqrt {4}=2$ which is not an irrational number 

Hence, the square root of every positive integer is not always irrational.

Which one of the following is not true?

  1. When x is not a perfect square, $\sqrt{x}$ is an irrational number

  2. The index form of $\sqrt[m]{x^n}$ is $x^{\frac{n}{m}}$

  3. The radical form of $\left(x^{\frac{1}{n}}\right)^{\frac{1}{m}}$ is $\sqrt[m]{x^n}$

  4. Every real number is an irrational number


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$(D)\,\, Real = Rational + Irrational$

If $a$ is an irrational number then which of the following describe the additive inverse of $a$.

  1. $a+a=2a$

  2. $a+0=a$

  3. $a\times=0$

  4. $a+(-a)=0$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If the sum of two  irrational numbers is 0 then the two numbers are called additive inverse.
So option $D$ is correct.

If $ x = ( 2 + \sqrt3)^n , n \epsilon N $ and $ f = x - [x],$ then $ \dfrac {f^2}{1-f} $ is :

  1. An irrational number

  2. A non-integer rational number

  3. An odd number

  4. An even number


Correct Option: D

The product of two irrational numbers is 

  1. Always irrational

  2. Always rational

  3. Can be both rational and irrational

  4. always an integer


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let $p=\sqrt 3$ and $q=\sqrt 3$ be two irrational numbers 
$pq=\sqrt 3\times \sqrt 3=3$
which is rational
Now let $p=\sqrt 3$ and $q=\sqrt 2$
$pq=\sqrt 3\times \sqrt 2=\sqrt 6$
which is an irrational number
So the product can be both rational and irrational .
Option $C$ is correct.

$\sqrt { 3 } +\sqrt { 4 } $ is an irrational number.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\sqrt4= 2 \text{ is a  rational number and }$$\sqrt3$ is a $irrational$ number


And $\text{the addition of rational and irrational is always an irrational number}$

So that $(\sqrt3+\sqrt4)$ is an irrational number.

hence option A is correct.

State whether the given statement is True or False :

The number $6+\sqrt { 2 } $ is irrational.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$Here \  6 \text{ is a  rational number and }$$\sqrt2$ is a $irrational$ number


And $\text{the addition of rational and irrational is always an irrational number}$

So that $(6+\sqrt2)$ is an irrational number.

hence option A is correct

State whether the given statement is True or False :
If $p,  q $ are prime positive integers, then $\sqrt { p } +\sqrt { q } $ is an irrational number.
  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$\sqrt{p}+\sqrt{q}$ is rational ........ assumption
$\sqrt{p}+\sqrt{q}=\dfrac{a}{b}$
squaring, we get
$p+q+2\sqrt{pq}=\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{2}$

$\sqrt{pq}=\dfrac{1}{2}\left[\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{2}-p-q\right] - (i)$

Now, $p$ & $q$ are prime positive numbers so, $\sqrt{p}$ and $\sqrt{q}$ is irrational also $\sqrt{pq}$ 

so in (i)
Irrational $=$ rational $\Rightarrow$ which is a contradiction

$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt p+\sqrt q$ is a irrational number if $p,q$ are prime positive numbers

Prove following equation as irrational 

  1. $2+\sqrt {3}$

  2. $2-\sqrt {3}$

  3. $3\sqrt {2}+\sqrt {3}$

  4. $\dfrac {1}{\sqrt {2}}$

  5. $\dfrac {1}{\sqrt {3}-\sqrt {2}}$


Correct Option: A

$\sqrt { 7 }$ is a

  1. an integer

  2. an irrational number

  3. a rational number

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\sqrt 7 $ is a rational number


State True or False:

$4\, - \,5\sqrt 2 $ is irrational if $\sqrt 2 $ is irrational.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We know that difference of a rational and irrational number is also irrational, 


So if $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational 4-5$\sqrt{2}$ is also irrational. 

GCF of $99$ and $100$ is __________

  1. $1$

  2. $2$

  3. $3$

  4. $4$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

when we divide $100$ with $99$ we will get remainder $1$ and hence next we divide 99 with $1$ which gives us remainder $0$.


therefore $1$ is the HCF or GCF of $99 $ and $100$
