Solution
Let a = 0.232332333233332
b = 0.252552555255552
Since the decimal representations of a and b are non-terminating and non-repeating, it follows that a and b are irrational numbers. Again the first place of decimal of a and b are equal, and second place of b is greater than a.
a < b
We have to find number between a and b such that it is greater than a and less
than b, and irrational. Now considering the following numbers
0.232442333233332...... 0.232442333233332.....
We can find many numbers like this.
Rational Numbers.
Rational numbers can be expressed of form p/q . So we can find numbers between a and b like 0.24 (24/100) and 0.242 (242/1000)
These numbers lie between a and b and can be represented by the form p/q hence are rational.
