Either you can make a fraction from two whole numbers (denominator ≠ 0), thus a rational number. Or you can't, thus irrational.

Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM

Let C and D be the position of the aeroplanes.
Given that CB = 900 m,∠CAB = 60°,∠DAB = 45°
From the right △ ABC,
Tan45 = CB/AB => CB = AB
From the right △ ADB,
Tan30 = DB/AB => DB = ABtan30 = CBx(1/√3) = 750/√3
CB = CD + DB
=> Required height CD = CB - DB = 750 - 750/√3 = 250(3 - √3)

Let total students = 100
Boys = 60
Girls = 40
Absent boys = (100 – 80)% of 60 = 12

So the answer = (10 + 12)% = 22%
Hence, Option B is correct.

Hence, Option A is correct.

Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 864 × Second number
= 96 × 1296 ⇒ Second number

Base =  7 cm and Height  = 4 cm
Area of  Rhombus1 = b . h 
= 7 * 4
= 28 cm²
