Detailed Solution

Given  f(x) is continuous in [1,3], f(x) will attain all values between f(1) and f(3)

As, f(x) takes rational values for all x and there are innumerable irrational values between f(1) and f(3) which implies that f(x) can take rational values for all x, if f(x) has a constant rational value at all points between x=1 and x=3.

So, f(2)=f(1.5)=10.

We can say this by Continuity of composite function.

Continuity of composite function: If the function u=f(x) is continuous at the point x=a and the function y=g(u) is continuous at the point u=f(a), then the                                                                    composite function y=(gof)(x)=g(f(x)) is continuous at the point x=a.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. f(1.5)=10.
