Correct Answer: D. To keep the Centre of gravity always vertically

The correct answer is:
D. To keep the Centre of gravity always vertically
Explanation:
The long pole carried by a tightrope walker helps to:
Lower the center of gravity: By holding the pole, the walker increases their moment of inertia, making it harder to topple.
Stabilize balance: The pole helps the walker make small adjustments to counterbalance any tilt, ensuring the center of gravity remains aligned over the rope for stability.
This technique is crucial for maintaining equilibrium while walking on the tightrope.

Correct Answer: C. Square root of 2

The correct answer is C. Square root of 2.
Here’s why:
Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (i.e., the ratio of two integers) and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions.
1.5 is a rational number because it can be written as the fraction 32\frac{3}{2}23.
22/7 is a rational number, even though it is an approximation of π\piπ, it can still be expressed as a fraction.
Square root of 2 is irrational because its decimal expansion (1.414213…) never repeats or terminates.
So, the square root of 2 is the only irrational number in the options.
