Which of the following statements about rational and irrational numbers is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.

Let \(r\) be a non-zero rational number and \(x\) be irrational. If \(rx\) were rational, then \(x=\frac{rx}{r}\) would also be rational, which is a contradiction. Hence, their product is always irrational. Options A and C are not always true: \(\sqrt{2}+(-\sqrt{2})=0\) and \(\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2}=2\), both rational. Exam tip: For a statement containing “always”, test it with a suitable counterexample.
