Normally, sum of any two irrational numbers is an irrational number.
However, consider √2 and -√2. Their product is -2 and sum is 0, both of which are rational numbers.
Thus, there can be numbers whose sum and product both are rationals.

yes there are number which are irrational and their products is rational
example :
⇒ √2 × √8
⇒ √16
⇒ 4
∴ the product of two irrational is a rational

yes in some cases the sum of two irrational numbers is rational
example :
⇒ √5 + ( - √5 )
⇒ √5 - √5
⇒ 0
∴ the sum of irrational numbers is rational
example :
⇒ √2 × √8
⇒ √16
⇒ 4
∴ the product of two irrational is a rational
