The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and determine their validity. **Step 1: Analyze Statement 1** - Statement 1 claims that "the square root of an irrational number is rational." - Let's consider an example of an irrational number, such as √2. - If we take the square root of √2, we get (√2)^(1/2) = 2^(1/4), which is still an irrational number. - Therefore, the square root of an irrational number can also be irrational. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** This statement is **false**. **Step 2: Analyze Statement 2** - Statement 2 claims that "all those real numbers which are not rational are irrational." - By definition, rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. - If a real number is not rational, it must fall into the category of irrational numbers (which cannot be expressed as a fraction). - Hence, all real numbers that are not rational are indeed irrational. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** This statement is **true**. **Final Conclusion:** - Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true. - Therefore, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ---
