Answer

Since, square of 3{\sqrt3} = 3 and square of 8{\sqrt8} = 8.

(i) Choose any two rational numbers between 3 and 8 each of which is a perfect square.

The square roots of such numbers will be requires rational numbers.

Let the numbers be 4 and 5.76, where 4\sqrt4 = 2 and 5.76\sqrt{5.76} = 2.4

∴ Required rational numbers are 2 and 2.4.

(ii) Now, choose any two rational numbers between 3 and 8 each of which is not a perfect square. The square root of such numbers will be the required irrational numbers.

Let the numbers be 5 and 6.

5\sqrt{5} and 6\sqrt{6} are the required irrational numbers.
