19. Mr. Kumar, a Mathematics teacher explained some key points of unit 1 of class IX to his
students. Some are given here.
 There are infinite rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
 Rationalisation of a denominator means to change the irrational denominator to rational
form.
 A number is irrational if its decimal form is non-terminating non-recurring
