The given number is 27 .
We know that the square roots of all positive numbers which are not perfect squares are irrational numbers.
Question Imagea×a=a 27=3×9 27=3×3×3 27=33 Let's check the possibilities of all the options given.
Let's first consider 3.
27×3=33×3 27×3=3×3 27×3=9 So, 9 is a rational number and the smallest possible.
Now let's consider 27.
Question Image27 is also a rational number but compared to 9, 27 is a larger number.
Now let's consider 33.
27×33=33×33 27×33=3×3×3×3 27×33=3×3×3 27×33=27 27 is a rational number but compared to 9, 27 is a larger number.
27×3=33×3 27=93 which is not even a rational number.
