Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Properties of a rational number:

1). A decimal number which has the repeating numbers after decimal is a rational number.

Example: 2.134134134......

Here 134 is repeating after decimal so the number is a rational number.

2). A decimal number which can be written as a fraction is a rational number.

Example: 0.25 =
(1)/(4)

Here 0.25 can be written as a fraction
(1)/(4) therefore, its a rational number.

In the given options,

Option A

No repeating numbers in first number therefore its an irrational numbers.

Option B

0.684 =
(171)/(250)

Option C

First number is an irrational number.

Option D

First number is an irrational number.

Therefore, Option (B) is the answer.
