A rational number between square root of 2 and square root of 3

  1. 1.9
  2. fraction numerator left parenthesis square root of 2. end root square root of 3 right parenthesis over denominator 2 end fraction
  3. 1.5
  4. 1.8

hintHint:

1. Rational numbers refer to those numbers that can be represented as a simple fraction.

The correct answer is: 1.5


    GIVEN-
    Given numbers- √2 & √3
    TO FIND-
    Rational numbers between the given numbers from the given options
    SOLUTION-
    We know that-
    (√2)2 = 2 &
    (√3)2 = 3
    Hence, we need to find rational numbers whose squares are between 2 and 3.
    We will follow the elimination method to find the correct answer from the given options-
    a. (√2. √3) / 2
       [(√2. √3) / 2]2
    = [(√2.3) / 2]2 .................................. (√m * √n = √mn)
    = [(√6) / 2]2
    = (√6)2 / (2)2 ................................... [(m/n)2 = m2/n2]
    = 6 / 4
    = 1.5
    b. 1.9
    (1.9)2 = 3.61
    c. 1.5
    (1.5)2 = 2.25
    d. 1.8
    (1.8)2 = 3.24
    From the above calculations, the only number whose square is between 2 & 3 is option c i.e. 1.5.
    FINAL ANSWER-
    Option 'c' i.e. '1.5' is the correct answer to the given question.
