Rational number is the number, which can be written:
in the form of p/q where q not equal to zero. (Here P and Q has to be an integer)
Irrational numbers cannot be written in the form of p/q.
Consider a rational number = 1/2
\text{ Irrational number =} \sqrt{3} 
\text{Product =}\frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{3}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  \text{(irrational)}
Therefore, option (A) is correct.
