 (i) √23 (ii) √225 (iii) 0.3796 (iv) 7.478478…  (v)1.101001000100001…

Answer: 

(i) √23

√23 = 4.795831523…

Since the decimal expansion is non-terminating and nonrecurring. Therefore, √23 is an irrational number.

(ii) √225

√225 = 15

Therefore, √225 is a rational number.

(iii) 0.3796

0.3796 is a terminating decimal, therefore, it is a rational number.

(iv)7.478478…

7.478478… is repeating and non-terminating, therefore it is a rational number.

(v)1.101001000100001….

The given decimal form is non-terminating and non-repeating; therefore, it is an irrational number.
