SSC CGL - 20 Sep 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

What type of number is the result of multiplying a Rational Number with an Irrational Number?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Sometimes Rational, Sometimes Irrational.

If the rational number is 0, the product is 0, which is rational.

If the rational number is non-zero, the product is irrational (since multiplying a non-zero rational by an irrational gives an irrational).

So it depends on whether the rational number is zero or not.
