    Irrational number from the given options
    SOLUTION-
    √12/√3 = √(12/3) = √4 = 2 ........................................ (√m/√n = √m/n)
    √5 = √5
    √4/√9 = 2/3 = 1.5
    √81 = 9
    From the above calculations, we observe that-
    all the other options except option b i.e. √5 can be written as a simple fraction.
