The equation of the circle with radius \mathrm{r} is \mathrm{x^2+y^2-2 \sqrt{5}=r^2-5\: If\: r^2-5} is rational, then one possible solution is \mathrm{x=0}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow y= \pm \sqrt{r^2-5}. \: If\: r^2-5} is irrational, then the rational part are given by \mathrm{x^2+y^2 =0}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow x=0, y=0,} which is not possible

Hence maximum number of rational part possible is 2 .

Hence option 2 is correct.
