Question

$\sqrt{5}$ lies between

• A. $0$ and $1$
• B. $1$ and $2$
• C. $2$ and $3$
• D. $3$ and $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2$ and $3$

We know that, largest perfect square less than $5$ is $4$ and smallest perfect square greater than $5$ is $9.$
$\Rightarrow 4<5<9\Rightarrow \sqrt{4}<\sqrt{5}<\sqrt{9}\Rightarrow 2<\sqrt{5}<3$
