The square root of 10 is a number with the following property: when you square it, you get 10.

So, if we have
a<√(10)<b, where
a and
b are positive integers, if we square the whole inequality we have


a^2<10<b^2

Let's analyse option A for example. Given everything we said so far, we would have


1<√(10)<2 \iff 1^2<10<2^2 \iff 1<10<4

which is false.

Option B is again false, because we would have


2<√(10)<3 \iff 2^2<10<3^2 \iff 4<10<9

which is again false. Keep trying with options C and D following those same steps, and see which one is correct
