Q. is the base of the natural logarithm. The number ss is rational. Which statement about e+se + s is true?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) e+se + s is rational.\newline(B) e+se + s is irrational.\newline(C) e+se + s can be rational or irrational, depending on the value of ss.
  1. Identify the nature: Identify the nature of the number ee. The number ee is known to be an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers and its decimal expansion is non-repeating and non-terminating.
  2. Consider the addition: Consider the addition of an irrational number ee and a rational number ss. When an irrational number is added to a rational number, the result is always irrational. This is because the irrational part cannot be canceled out or simplified to result in a rational number.
  3. Apply the rule: Apply this rule to e+se + s.\newlineSince ee is irrational and ss is rational, their sum e+se + s must be irrational.
