Q. 9 Arun says:a Is Arun correct? Give a reason for your answer.b Do you think 2817 is a rational number? Give a reason for your answer.
Calculate Expression: To check if Arun is correct, we need to simplify the expression under the square root.Calculate 812(7).2×7=14.8114=8114.
Simplify Square Root: Now, we simplify the square root: 8114. Since 81 is a perfect square (9×9), we can simplify the square root further. 8114=8114.
Further Simplification: Simplify 81 which is 9. So, 8114=914.
Final Evaluation: Since 14 is not a perfect square, it cannot be simplified further.Therefore, 914 is not a rational number because 14 is an irrational number.
Conclusion: Arun is incorrect; 812(7) is not a rational number.
