Q. Which of the following are rational numbers?\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 57\frac{5}{7}\newline(B) 27\frac{2}{7}\newline(C) 8\sqrt{8}\newline(D) 00
  1. Definition of Rational Number: A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction pq\frac{p}{q} of two integers, where pp is the numerator, qq is the denominator, and q0q \neq 0. We will check each option to see if it meets this definition.
  2. Option (A) Analysis: Option (A) is 57\frac{5}{7}. Since both 55 and 77 are integers and 77 is not zero, 57\frac{5}{7} is a fraction of two integers where the denominator is not zero. Therefore, 57\frac{5}{7} is a rational number.
  3. Option (B) Analysis: Option (B) is 27\frac{2}{7}. Similar to option (A), 27\frac{2}{7} is a fraction of two integers where the denominator is not zero. Therefore, 27\frac{2}{7} is also a rational number.
  4. Option (C) Analysis: Option (C) is 8\sqrt{8}. The square root of 88 is not a rational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. The square root of 88 is an irrational number because it is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.
  5. Option (D) Analysis: Option (D) is 00. Zero is a rational number because it can be expressed as 01\frac{0}{1}, or the fraction of two integers where the denominator is not zero.
