√P + √Q is …...… where P and Q are natural numbers.A) real numberB) irrational number C) natural number D) rational number |
Answer» Correct option is (A) real number (i) If P = 1, Q = 4 Then \(\sqrt P+\sqrt Q=\sqrt1+\sqrt4\) = 1+2 = 3 which is a rational number. (ii) If P = 1, Q = 2 Then \(\sqrt P+\sqrt Q=\sqrt1+\sqrt2\) \(=1+\sqrt2\) which is an irrational number. Thus, \(\sqrt P+\sqrt Q\) is rational or irrational. It is depends on fixed value of P and Q. But if P and Q are natural numbers (or positive rational numbers) then \(\sqrt P+\sqrt Q\) always a real number. Correct option is A) real number |
