An irrational number between 2 and 2.5 is

Note: If a and b are two positive numbers, such that the product of a and b is not a perfect square of a rational number, then,   is an irrational number lying between "a" and "b".


So, now we have two numbers 2 and 2.5.


Now the product of these two number is 5, which is not a perfect square. So, we can say that √5 is an irrational number lying between "2" and "2.5"


√5= 2.23606797749978969, Which is a non– terminating and non- repeating decimal.


Thus, option B is the correct answer.
