Which option is a correct example that makes (\sqrt{a}\times\sqrt{b}) rational?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a=3,b=12)
Step 1: (\sqrt{a}\times\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{ab}). Step 2: For (a=3,b=12), (ab=36), so (\sqrt{36}=6), which is rational. Step 3: Check whether the product inside the radical becomes a perfect square.
