Question.10. Is 9+\sqrt{2} an irrational number?

(a) No, because if 9+\sqrt{2}=\frac{a}{b} where a and b are integers and b\neq 0 , then \sqrt{2}=\frac{9b-a}{b} , but \sqrt{2} is an irrational number. So, 9+\sqrt{2} \neq \frac{a}{b} .
(b) No, because if 9+\sqrt{2}=\frac{a}{b} , where a and b are integers and b\neq 0 , then \sqrt{2}=\frac{9b+a}{b} , but \sqrt{2} is an irrational number. So, 9+\sqrt{2} \neq \frac{a}{b} .
(c) Yes, because if 9+\sqrt{2}=\frac{a}{b} , where a and b are integers and b\neq 0 , then \sqrt{2}=\frac{9b-a}{b} , but \sqrt{2} is an irrational number. So, 9+\sqrt{2} \neq \frac{a}{b} .
(d) Yes, because if 9+\sqrt{2}=\frac{a}{b} , where a and b are integers and b\neq 0 , then \sqrt{2}=\frac{9b+a}{b} , but \sqrt{2} is an irrational number. So, 9+\sqrt{2} \neq \frac{a}{b} .

Ans.9. (d) \sqrt{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
Ans.10. (b) No, because if 9+\sqrt{2}=\frac{a}{b} , where a and b are integers and b\neq 0 , then \sqrt{2}=\frac{9b+a}{b} , but \sqrt{2} is an irrational number. So, 9+\sqrt{2} \neq \frac{a}{b} .
