students. Some are given here:

 There are infinite rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
 Rationalisation of a denominator means to change the irrational denominator
to rational form.
 A number is irrational if its decimal form is non-terminating non-recurring.

On the basis of these key points, answer the following questions:
