Q38. Case Study-3

Real numbers are broadly classified as rational and irrational numbers. Rational numbers are the ones
that can be expressed in p/q form, where q is not equal to zero and p and q are integers. Whereas
irrational numbers can’t be expressed in p/q form. The decimal expansion of a rational number can either
be non-terminating recurring or terminating. But the decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-
terminating and non-recurring. Based on the given information, answer the following questions.
(a) Convert 1.235235235.......... in p/q form. 2
(b) Which of the following is not a rational number? 1
a) 0 b) 1.6235353535353....... c) π d) 153 × 10 -3
