 $\sqrt3$ is 

  1. rational number

  2. irrational number

  3. natural number

  4. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let $\sqrt3$ is a rational number
$\therefore \sqrt3 = \displaystyle \frac{a}{b}$ [Where a & b are co-primes]
$a^2=3b^2$ .......(i)
$\Rightarrow$ 3 divides $a^2$
$\Rightarrow$ 3 also divides a
$\Rightarrow$ a=3c
[Where c is any non-zero positive integer]
$\Rightarrow a^2 = 9c^2$
From equation (i)
$3b^2=9c^2$
$\Rightarrow b^2 = 3c^2  \Rightarrow$ 3 divides $b^2$
$\Rightarrow$ 3 also divides b
So, 3 is a common factor of a and b.
Our assumption is wrong, because a and b are not co - primes.
It means $\sqrt3$ is an irrational number.

 $\sqrt2 + \sqrt3$ is 

  1. irrational

  2. rational

  3. natural

  4. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\cfrac{m}{n} = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} $
Square both sides:
$\cfrac{m^2}{ n^2} = 5 + 2\sqrt{6} $

"Solve" for $\sqrt{6}$
$\sqrt{6} = \cfrac{\left(m^{2} - 5n^{2}\right)}{\left(2n^{2}\right)} $
so if  $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} $ is  rational,  then  so  is $ \sqrt{6}$
Let a and b be the integers with gcd(a,b) = 1 such that
$\cfrac{a}{b} = \sqrt{6}$
Square both sides and multiply by $b^2$:
$a^2 = 6b^2 $
Now, the right side is divisible by 2, so $a^2$ is divisible by 2, which
then implies that a is divisible by 2 (since 2 is prime).
Therefore we  can write a=2k for some integer k:
$4k^{2} = \left(2k \right)^{2} = 6b^{2} $
Divide by 2:
$2k^{2} = 3b^{2} $
Now the left side is divisible by 2, so $3b^{2}$ is divisible by 2, from which it follows that b is divisible by 2.
However, this would mean that 2 divides gcd(a,b) = 1. Contradiction.
$\therefore  \sqrt{6} $ is  irrational
,  and  $\therefore \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} $ is  also irrational.



Every surd is

  1. a natural number

  2. an irrational number

  3. a whole number

  4. a rational number


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
When a number cannot be simplified further to remove a square root then it is a surd.  
A surd is an irrational number.

For. eg: square root of 2 cannot be simplified. thus it is a surd.

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 B

Explanation:

Given that,$0.\overline{05}$

Let,

  $ x=0.\overline{05} $

 $ x=0.05050505..... $

Multiply by $100$ both sides,

 $ 100x=100\times 0.05050505..... $

 $ 100x=5.050505..... $

 $ 100x=5+0.050505..... $

 $ 100x=5+x $

 $ 99x=5 $

 $ x=\dfrac{5}{99} $


Hence, this is the answer.

State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answers.
Every real number need not be a rational number

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Real number are all numbers on number line 

And  a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number.
And other numbers are not rational number are called irrational number.
Then every real number need not be a rational is true
Eg:  $\sqrt{3},\sqrt{2},\pi $

State whether the following statement is true or false:
All real numbers are irrational

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

False,

The set of real numbers is made by combining the set of rational numbers and the set of irrational numbers. The real numbers include natural numbers or counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers (fractions and repeating or terminating decimals), and irrational numbers.
Real number includes number like $\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{2}{3},\dfrac{3}{7}....$ which are not irrational numbers.

So the statement, all real numbers are irrational is false.

The product of a non-zero rational number with an irrational number is always :

  1. Irrational number

  2. Rational number

  3. Whole number

  4. Natural number


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

By definition, an irrational number in decimal form goes on forever without repeating (a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal). By definition, a rational number in decimal form either terminates or repeats. 

By multiplying a non repeating non terminating number to repeating or terminating/repeating number, the result will always be a non terminating non repeating number. 
So, option A is correct. 

Which is not an Irrational number?

  1. $5-\sqrt{3}$

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

  3. $4+\sqrt{2}$

  4. $6+\sqrt{9}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We know that sum of two irrational number or one rational and one irrational number will be irrational number. Option A, B , C stisfies this criteria but option D have two rational number i.e. $6 + \sqrt { 9 }$ = $6+ 3=9$

So correct answer is option D

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

${ (2+\sqrt { 5 } ) }^{ 2 }\ =4+5+4\sqrt { 5 } \ =9+4\sqrt { 5 } $

In the above equation $4\sqrt { 5 } $ is irrational number so $9+4\sqrt { 5 } $ will also be irrational number 
So correct answer is option C.

A pair of irrational numbers whose product is a rational number is:

  1. $\sqrt{16}, \sqrt{4}$

  2. $\sqrt{5}, \sqrt{2}$

  3. $\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{27}$

  4. $\sqrt{36}, \sqrt{2}$

According to definition of irrational number, If written in decimal notation, an irrational number would have an infinite number of digits to the right of the decimal point, without repetition.

So, correct answer is option C.

Which of the following is not an irrational number?

  1. $5-\sqrt{3}$

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

  3. $4+\sqrt{2}$

  4. $5+\sqrt{9}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We know that if add  or subtract any number from irrational number then the result will be irrational number.
$\sqrt { 5 } $ , $\sqrt { 3 }$ , $\sqrt { 2 } $  are irrational number but $\sqrt { 9 } $ =3 is a rational number so option D is correct answer 

$\pi$ is _______

  1. a rational number

  2. an integer

  3. an irrational number

  4. a whole number


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Sometimes we use $π = 22/7$ which is a popular approximation

$π = 3.14159265358...$

$22/7 = 3.142857142857...$

But $π$ and $22/7$ are close but not accurate.

Rational Numbers - $P/Q$ when $Q$ is not equal to $0$.

Let $x = 33.33333…. $——-(1)

$10x = 33.333333….. $——-(2)

Equation $(2) - (1)$

$9x = 30$

$x = 30/9$ which is in form of $P/Q$ and $x = 33.3333…$

The digit $‘3′$ is repeating itself and that’s why it can be written as $100/3.$

When it’s π, the value is $3.14159265358...$ The order of digits will not repeat itself in it but in $22/7 = 3.142857142857….$ you can see that $142857…$ is repeating itself that’s why $22/7$ is rational but $π$ is irrational.

So, option C is correct.

So, option A is correct answer.  

$\pi$ is a(n) ________ while $\dfrac{22}{7}$ is rational.

  1. Integer

  2. Whole Number

  3. Rational Number

  4. Irrational Number


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The value $\dfrac{22}7$ is a rational number, as it can be expressed in the form $\dfrac pq$. 

We consider it as an approximate value of $\pi$ because $\pi$ is close to $\dfrac{22}7$. 
But actually its value is $3.14159....$, which is neither terminating nor repeating. 
Thus, $\pi $ is irrational, but $\dfrac{22}7$ is rational.

$\sqrt{5}$ is an irrational number.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio a/b, where a and b are integers and b is non-zero.
$\sqrt5$ is irrational as it can never be expressed in the form a/b

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

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio a/b, where a and b are integers and b is non-zero.
$1/(\sqrt2)$ is irrational as it can never be expressed in the form a/b

$3+2\sqrt{5}$ a rational number.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let's assume that $3+2\sqrt5$ is rational..... 

then 

$3+2\sqrt5 = p/q $

$\sqrt5 =( p-3q)/(2q) $ 

now take $p-3q$ to be P and $2q$ to be Q........where P and Q are integers 

which means, $\sqrt5= P/Q$...... 

But this contradicts the fact that $\sqrt5$ is rational 

So our assumption is wrong and $3+2\sqrt5$ is irrational.

$\sqrt { 2 } ,\sqrt { 3 }$ are

  1. Whole numbers

  2. Rational numbers

  3. Irrational numbers

  4. Integers


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac pq$ of two integers with $q$ not equal to zero.
As in the case of $\sqrt2$ and $\sqrt3$, it cannot be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac pq$.

Hence, option $A$ is the correct answer.

If $p$ is prime, then $\sqrt{p}$ is irrational and if $a, b$ are two odd prime numbers, then $a^2 -b^2$ is composite. As per the above passage mark the correct answer to the following question.
$\sqrt{7}$ is:

  1. a rational number

  2. an irrational number

  3. not a real number

  4. terminating decimal


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The basic definition for a rational number is that it can be represented in the form of $p/q$, where p and q are integers and q is a non-zero integer. Here, $\sqrt7$ is not a perfect square and thus cannot be expressed in the form of $p/q$, thus it is an irrational number.

Consider the given statements:

Explanation:

$16^{\frac{1}{2}}=4$, which is a rational number.
The other options are irrational  numbers.
So, $16^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is different from others.

If $a\neq 1$ and $ln{ a }^{ 2 }+{ \left( ln{ a }^{ 2 } \right)  }^{ 2 }+{ \left( ln{ a }^{ 2 } \right)  }^{ 3 }+........=3\left( lna+{ \left( ln{ a } \right)  }^{ 2 }+{ \left( ln{ a } \right)  }^{ 3 }+{ \left( ln{ a } \right)  }^{ 4 }+...... \right)$ then $a$ is

  1. $an\ irrational\ number$

  2. $a\ transcendental\ number$

  3. $an\ algeberaic\ number$

  4. $a\ surd$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given, for $a\ne 1$,

$ln{ a }^{ 2 }+{ \left( ln{ a }^{ 2 } \right)  }^{ 2 }+{ \left( ln{ a }^{ 2 } \right)  }^{ 3 }+........=3\left( lna+{ \left( ln{ a } \right)  }^{ 2 }+{ \left( ln{ a } \right)  }^{ 3 }+{ \left( ln{ a } \right)  }^{ 4 }+...... \right)$
or, $\dfrac{\ln a^2}{1-\ln a^2}=3\times \dfrac{\ln a}{1-\ln a}$
or, $\dfrac{2\ln a}{1-2\ln a}=3\times \dfrac{\ln a}{1-\ln a}$
or, $2(1-\ln a)=3(1-2\ln a)$ [Since $a\ne 1\Rightarrow \ln a \ne 0$ ]
or, $4\ln a =1$
or, $a=\sqrt[4]{e}$.
So clearly $a$ is an irrational number.

Simplify the following expressions.
Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational.

  1. $\left( 5+\sqrt { 7 } \right) \left( 2+\sqrt { 5 } \right)$

  2. $\left( 5+\sqrt { 5 } \right) \left( 5-\sqrt { 5 } \right)$

  3. ${ \left( \sqrt { 3 } +\sqrt { 7 } \right) }^{ 2 }$

  4. $\left( \sqrt { 11 } -\sqrt { 7 } \right) \left( \sqrt { 11 } +\sqrt { 7 } \right)$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$A:$

$\left( {{\rm{5}} + \sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)\left( {{\rm{2}} + \sqrt {\rm{5}} } \right)$  

$=10+5\sqrt5+2\sqrt7+\sqrt{35}$

Now, $10$ is rational and $\sqrt5,\sqrt7$ are non terminating , non repeating is an irrational 

and we know that $rational + irrational = irrational$ 

Therefore,  $\left( {{\rm{5}} + \sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)\left( {{\rm{2}} + \sqrt {\rm{5}} } \right)$  is  irrational 


$B:$
$\left( {{\rm{5}} + \sqrt {\rm{5}} } \right)\left( {5 - \sqrt {\rm{5}} } \right)$

$={{\rm{5}}^2} + {\left( {\sqrt {\rm{5}} } \right)^2} = 25 - 5$

$=5$, which is rational 

So, $\left( {{\rm{5}} + \sqrt {\rm{5}} } \right)\left( {5 - \sqrt {\rm{5}} } \right)$
Is rational number.


$C:$
${\left( {\sqrt {\rm{3}}  + \sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)^{\rm{2}}}$

$={\left( {\sqrt {\rm{3}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)^2} + 2\sqrt {\rm{3}} \sqrt 7 $

$={\left( {\sqrt {\rm{3}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)^2} + 2\sqrt {{\rm{21}}} =3 + 7 + 2\sqrt {{\rm{21}}} =10+2\sqrt{21}$
and $10$ and $\sqrt{21}$ are both rational.

Therefore, ${\left( {\sqrt {\rm{3}}  + \sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)^{\rm{2}}}$ is rational.


$D:$
$\left( {{\rm{11}} - \sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)\left( {{\rm{11 + }}\sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)$

$={\left( {{\rm{11}}} \right)^2} - {\left( {\sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)^2}$

$=11-7=4$, which is rational.

Therefore $\left( {{\rm{11}} - \sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)\left( {{\rm{11 + }}\sqrt {\rm{7}} } \right)$ is rational.

Which of the following numbers are an irrational number. 

  1. $2- \sqrt 5$

  3. $\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$

  4. $2\pi $


Correct Option: A,C,D
Explanation:

$A$ is a irrational number as it cannot be expressed of the form $\cfrac{p}{q}$

$B$ is a rational number. As it can be expressed in the form of $\cfrac{3}{1}$
$C$ is a irrational number as it cannot be expressed of the form $\cfrac{p}{q}$
$D$ is a irrational number as it cannot be expressed of the form $\cfrac{p}{q}$ of two integers

If $p$ and $q$ are two distinct irrational numbers, then which of the following is always is an irrational number

  1. $\dfrac{p}{q}$

  2. $pq$

  3. $(p+q)^2$

  4. $\dfrac{p^2q+qp}{pq}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

As, given $p$ and $q$ are two distinct irrational numbers.


Let $p=2+\sqrt 3$ and $q=2-\sqrt 3$

Then,

Option $A$
$\dfrac{p}{q}=\dfrac{2+\sqrt3}{2-\sqrt 3}$
$\dfrac{p}{q}=\dfrac{4+3+4\sqrt3}{4-3}=7+4\sqrt 3$

Option $B$
$pq=(2+\sqrt3)(2-\sqrt 3)=4-3=1$


Option $C$
$(p+q)^2=(2+\sqrt3+2-\sqrt 3)^2=4^2=16$

Option $D$
$\dfrac{p^2q+pq}{pq}=p+1$ is always an irrational number, because sum of rational and irrational is always irrational.

Hence, this is irrational.

Hence, this is the answer.

$\sqrt 7 $ is irrational.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Lets assume that √7 is rational number. ie √7 = p/q.
suppose p/q have common factor then
we divide by the common factor to get √7 = a/b were a and b are co-prime number.
that is a and b have no common factor.
√7 =  a/b co- prime number
√7 = a/b
a = √7b
squaring
a² = 7b²                                   ....(i)
a² is divisible by 7
a = 7c
substituting values in eq (i)
(7c)² = 7b²
49c² = 7b²
7c² = b²
b² = 7c²
b² is divisible by 7
that is a and b have at least one common factor 7. 
√7 is irrational

Which is a irrational number

$\displaystyle log _{4}18$ is 

  1. an irrational number

  2. a rational number

  3. natural number

  4. whole number


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$  Log AB = log A + log B $
Also, $ log a^b = b log a $

So, $ log _{4} 18 = \frac { log 2 \times 3^2}{log 4}  = \frac { log 2 \times 3^2}{log 2^2}  = \frac { log 2}{2log 2} + \frac {2 log 3}{2 log 2}  = \frac {1}{2} +  \frac {log 3}{log 2}   $

As both $ log 2 $ and $ log 3 $ are irrational numbers, $ log _{x} 18 $ is an irrational number too. 

Number of integers lying between $1 $ to $102$  which are divisible by all $\displaystyle \sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{6}, $ is 

  1. $16$

  2. $17$

  3. $15$

  4. $0$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

For a number to be divisible by $\sqrt { 2 } $, it must be an irrational number. An integer is not an irrational,

so  there are no  numbers between  $ 1$ to  $102$ which are divisible by all  $\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{6}$.

Simplify by combining similar terms :$\displaystyle 3\sqrt{147}-\frac{7}{3}\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}+7\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{189}{3\sqrt{3}}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{175}{3\sqrt{3}}$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{208\sqrt{3}}{3}$

  4. $\displaystyle \frac{203}{3\sqrt{3}}$


Correct Option: D

Which of the following is an irrational number?

  1. $\sqrt {41616}$

  2. $23.232323.....$

  3. $\dfrac {(1+\sqrt 3)^3-(1-\sqrt 3)^3}{\sqrt 3}$

  4. $23.10100100010000....$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Irrational numbers are non-repeating and non-terminating numbers.

$\sqrt {5}$ is a\an ......... number.

  1. rational

  2. whole

  3. integer

  4. irrational


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\sqrt {5} = \dfrac {a}{b}$

$b\sqrt {5} = a$ $(a$ and $b$ are co-prime i.e. they have no common factors$) ...(1)$ 
$5b^{2} = a^{2}$ (squaring both sides)
Therefore $5$ divides $a^{2}$
As per Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, $5$ divides $a.$
Let's take it as $a = 5c,$
$5b^{2} = 25 c^{2}$
$b^{2} = 5c^{2}$
As per Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, $5$ divides $a.$
So $a$ and $b$ have $5$ as a common factor but $a$ and $b$ have only $1$ common factor $1$ from equation $(1),$ so it is not rational.
So, we conclude that $\sqrt {5}$ is irrational.
Therefore, $D$ is the correct answer.

How many irrational numbers are there between $2$ and $6$?

  1. $1$

  2. $3$

  3. $4$

  4. $10$

  5. Infinitely many


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

There can be infinite number of irrational numbers between any two rational numbers. Hence the answer is infinitely many.

$\sqrt{21-4\sqrt{5}+8\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{15}}=$...........

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

  2. $\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{12}$

  3. $-\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{12}$

  4. $-\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{12}$


Correct Option: C

State whether the following statements are true or false. 
$\sqrt {n}$ is not irrational if n is a perfect square

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

False ,

$\sqrt{4}=2$ where 2 is a rational number.Here n is perfect square the  $\sqrt{n}$ is rational number 
$\sqrt{5}=2.236..$ is not rational  number But it is irrational number . here n is not a perfect square the  $\sqrt{n}$ is  irrational  number
So $\sqrt{n}$ is not irrational number if n is perfect square

If $p$ is prime, then $\sqrt {p}$ is:

  1. Composite number

  2. Rational number

  3. Positive integer

  4. Irrational number


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

SInce, we know that prime numbers are those which are never perfect square and not divisible by any other number except by itself.
which are $2,3,5,7,...$
Clearly, if $p$ is prime then $\sqrt p $ is irrational number.
Option $D$ is correct. 

State the following statement is true or false

$3\sqrt{18}$ is an irrational number.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$3\sqrt{18}=9\sqrt{2},$ which is the product of a rational and an irrational number and so an irrational number.

$6+\sqrt{2}$ is a rational number.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let's assume that $6+\sqrt2$ is rational..... 

then 

$6+\sqrt2 = p/q $

$\sqrt2 =( p-6q)/(q) $ 

now take $p-6q$ to be P and $q$ to be Q........where P and Q are integers 

which means, $\sqrt2= P/Q$...... 

But this contradicts the fact that $\sqrt2$ is rational 

So our assumption is wrong and $6+\sqrt2$ is irrational.
