Are the square roots of all positive integers irrational? If not, give an example of the square root of a number that is a rational number.

##### Solution :-

• Square root of every positive integer will not yield an integer. (Eg: $$\sqrt2,\sqrt3,\sqrt{6...}$$ ) which are called irrational numbers.

But $$\sqrt 4$$ is 2, which is an integer.

Therefore, we conclude that square root of every positive integer is not an irrational number.
