Question

Which of the following is/are an irrational number?

• A. $\pi$
  
• B. $\sqrt{5}$
  
• C. $\sqrt{7}$
• D. $\frac{22}{7}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A $\pi$

B $\sqrt{5}$

C $\sqrt{7}$

$\pi$ is not a rational number. Often we mention it as $\frac{22}{7}$, but it is not exactly $\frac{22}{7}$; It is approximated to be so. $\pi$ is the ratio of circumference and diameter of a circle.
Moreover, square roots of prime numbers are always irrational.
