Yes, there are so many no.
Example: 2^(1/4) which is irrational and its square is 2^(1/2) which is also
irrational but again squaring it becomes 2 which is rational no.
Note: If a number is rational then its square is always rational.
But if a number is irrational then its square may be rational or irrational.

Given: Expression
To find: Express expression in the form of p/q where p & q are integers
and q is not equal to zero?
Solution:
Let .... (1)
Multiply both sides by 100,
..... (2)
Subtract (1) and (2),
 .
12. i) Consider, 3√45-√125+√200-√50
= 3 √(9 × 5) − √(25 × 5) + √(100 × 2) − √(25 × 2)
= 9√5 − 5√5 + 10√2 − 5√2
= 4√5 + 5√2

ii)
729 can be written as

By evaluating

As we know when,

Similarly,

As we know

Hence, value = .
iii) √ √ √ √

√ √ +√ √

√(√ ) (√ ) √ √ + √(√ ) (√ ) √ √

√(√ √ ) √(√ √ )

√ √ √ √ =√ √
