Answer 1

√43/8 can not be a rational number. Because the numerator of the fraction is not an integer.

Therefore, option C i.e. irrational is correct.

Explanation:

What is a rational number?

We know that a rational is a number that can be expressed in the form of a fraction p/q of two integers p and q.

Where

• p is a numerator

• q is a non-zero denominator

Given the number

√43/8

here

• The denominator 8 is an integer but the nominator √43 is not an integer.

So,

√43/8 can not be a rational number. Because the numerator of the fraction is not an integer.

Therefore, option C i.e. irrational is correct.
