Question

Assertion : √2 is an irrational number.
Reason : A number is called irrational, if it cannot be written in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement is true as there are Irrational numbers which dont satisfy the condition of rational numbers i.e irrational number cannot be written in the form of

q

p

q

Answer 2

The assertion and reason both are true and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

• √2 is an irrational number. This statement is true because, if a number is said to be a rational number, it should be in the form of p/q where q≠0. A few examples of rational numbers are -1/2,-3/4,8/3, etc..,
• Only such kinds of numbers are called rational numbers. The numbers which are not of p/q form are irrational.
• Here, √2 is irrational because it cannot be written in the form of p/q.
• Therefore, the given assertion in the question is true and the given reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
