Find a rational number and also irrational number lying between the numbers 0.3030030003…..and 0.3010010001….

Let a = 0.3010010001….

And, b = 0.3030030003…..


We observe that the second decimal place a has digit 1 and b has digit 3, therefore, a < b. In the third decimal place a has digit 1. So, if we consider rational and irrational numbers


x = 0.302


y = 0.302002000200002…


We find that,


a < x < b


And, a < y < b


Hence, x and y are required rational and irrational numbers respectively.
