Answer

Since, 5 and 6 are positive rational numbers and 5 x 6 = 30 is not a perfect square, therefore :

(i) A rational number between 5 and 6 = 5+62\dfrac{5 + 6}{2}

= 112\dfrac{11}{2} = 5.5

∴ Rational number between 5 and 6 = 5.5.

(ii) An irrational number between 5 and 6 = 5×6\sqrt{5 \times 6}

= 30\sqrt{30}

∴ Irrational number between 5 and 6 = 30\sqrt{30}.
