Question

2.35 is
(a) an integer
(c) an irrational number
(b) a rational number
d) a natural number​

Answer 1

2.35 is a rational number.

The correct option is (b).

Since 2.35 can be expressed in p/q form where p and q are integers (235/100), it is a rational number.

Option (a) is incorrect:

Integers are whole numbers that can be positive or negative (also including zero). They do not include fractions or decimals.

Option (c) in incorrect:

Irrational numbers are those which cannot be expressed in p/q form where p and q are integers. Since 2.35 can be expressed in such a manner, it is not irrational.

Option (d) is incorrect:

Natural numbers are those used for counting and ordering. They are 1,2,3,4... Since 2.35 is a decimal, it is not a natural number.
