    Any real number line ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity. A real number number line consists of all the rational and irrational numbers. Let us take three intervals which contain both the rational and irrational numbers.

    First interval: [3,4]

    Since every integer is a rational number, 3 and 4 are both rational. In this interval there occurs the value of π (3.14159 ...) which is an irrational number.

    Second interval : [0,2]

    0 and 2 are integers and hence are rational. In this interval, occurs √2 (1.41421 ...) is an irrational number.

    Third interval : [2,3]

    In this interval, Eulers number 'e' lie whose value is (2.718281 ...)

    Hence we can conclude that, there occurs an irrational number between any two rational number.
