\(\sqrt{2}\text{ is}\)
Updated On: Apr 5, 2025
- a rational number
- an irrational number
- a prime number
- a composite number
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Correct answer: an irrational number
Explanation:
A rational number can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (like p/q).
\(\sqrt{2}\) cannot be written as an exact fraction and its decimal expansion is non-terminating and non-repeating.
So, \(\sqrt{2}\) is an irrational number.
