Detailed Solution

By definition, a surd is an irrational root of a rational number. So now we know that surds are always irrational and they are always roots.
For example, square root of 2 i.e. 2​ is a surd since 2 is rational and square root of 2 is irrational.
Similarly, cube root of 9 is also a surd since 9 is rational and cube root of 9 is irrational.
On the other hand, π and e are not surds even though they are irrational, because they are not the roots of any algebraic expression.
So, the given statement is true.
Hence (1) is the correct option.
