Write the following real numbers in decending order:

Rational and Irrational Numbers Class 9 ICSE ML Aggarwal img 63

Solution:

We know that

√2 = √2

3.5 = √12.25

√10 = √10

Writing the above numbers in descending order

√18.75, √12.25, √10, √2, – √12.5

So we get

5/2 √3, 3.5, √10, √2, -5/√2

Find a rational number and an irrational number between √3 and √5.

Solution:

Let (√3)2 = 3 and (√5)2 = 5

(i) There exists a rational number 4 which is the perfect square of a rational number 2.

(ii) There can be much more rational numbers which are perfect squares.

(iii) We know that

One irrational number between √3 and √5 = ½ (√3 + √5) = (√3 + √5)/ 2
