Option ( B )
Irrational number are one of the categories of real numbers which does not have an exact value and cannot be expressed in a form same as p/q.
Let us solve the equations one by one to find our result.
1) x ^ 2 = 9 => x = √9 => x = 3
Since we have got a rational number as a result, this cannot be the required answer.
2) y ^ 2 = 5 => y = √5
Since we have got an irrational number as a result, this may be our answer but for safe sight we will have a look at other options as well.
3) z ^ 2 = 64 => z = √64 => z = 8
Since we have got a rational number as a result, this cannot be the required answer.
4) v ^ 2 = 0.04 => v = √0.04 => v = 0.2
Since we have got a rational number as a result, this cannot be the required answer.
• At last, since we have a irrational number as the result only in option B, it is the correct answer.

Answer:
y² = 5 is Irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
Here you can see
x² = 9 or
x² - 9 = 0
x² - 3² = 0
(x + 3) ( x - 3) = 0 [∵ a² - b² = (a + b) ( a - b)]
x + 3 = 0 x - 3 = 0
x = -3 x = 3 [Both are rational numbers]
Similarly
y² = 5
y = ± √5 (Since √5 is an irrational number)
∴ Option 2) y² = 5 is irrational
just to check further
z² = 64
z = ±8 (Rational)
and
v² = 0.04
v = ± 0.2 (Rational)
