Q. The number c c is irrational. Which statement about c+10 c + 10 is true?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) c+10 c + 10 is rational.\newline(B) c+10 c + 10 is irrational.\newline(C) c+10 c + 10 can be rational or irrational, depending on the value of c c .
  1. Identify Number Nature: Identify the nature of the number 1010.1010 is an integer, and all integers are rational numbers.
  2. Consider Number Sum: Consider the sum of an irrational number and a rational number. The sum of an irrational number cc and a rational number 1010 is always irrational.
  3. Determine Truth: Determine the truth of the given statements based on the previous step.\newlineSince cc is irrational and 1010 is rational, their sum c+10c + 10 must be irrational.\newlineTherefore, the correct statement is (B) c+10c + 10 is irrational.
