Detailed Solution

Given,
The irrational number is 3 2  .
Let’s assume that 3 2   is rational.
So, we can find integers a   and b   such that,
3 2 = a b   Where a  and b   are co-prime as their H.C.F is 1.
  2 = a 3b   Since, a   and b   are integers.
Therefore, a 3b   is a rational number.
Thus, 2   is a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that 2   is an irrational number.
Hence, assumption is wrong that 3 2   is rational.
Hence, 3 2   is an irrational number.
Thus, the given statement is true.
Therefore, option(1)     is correct answer.
