Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Rational numbers are those numbers which can be written as p/q form or it must be non terminating but recurring number.

-13 can be written as p/q form as
(-13)/(1)


(14)/(5) is a rational number because of its form.

81 can be written in p/q form as
(81)/(1)

But √2 is non terminating and non recurring number.

Hence, √2 is not a rational number.

Therefore, Option 'A' is correct.
