√1 (option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers: √ 1, √ 2, √ 3, √ 5

Rational numbers are numbers that can be written in the form of fraction.

Let's check out the options:

a) √ 1 = 1

Whole numbers can be written as fraction by making their denominators to be 1. 1 is an whole number

So 1 = 1/1

This is a rational number

Note: Squareroots of non perfect squares are irrational

b) 2, 3 and 5 are non perfect squares.

Hence, the squareroots of the non perfect squares are irrational.

The correct answer is √1 (option A)
