Hmm nice solution @Sharky Kesa . @Sandeep Bhardwaj naughty question.

He said 6 3
( 2 + 7 ) × ( 7 ) = 3 ( 7 )
We know for any prime number p , the p is an irrational number and also as we know product of non-zero rational number and irrational number is an irrational number and hence given number is an i r a a t i o n a l number.
2 + 7 ⋅ 7
2 + 7 → 2 + 7 = 9 → 9 = 3
3 × 7 [ i s a n i r r a t i o n a l n u m b e r ] .
Note: 3 × 7 ≈ 7 . 9 3 7 2 5 3 9 3 3 2
2 + 7 × 7 is a irrational number because 9 × 7 = 3 7 . 7 is not a perfect square, so it is irrational.
2 + 7 × 7 = 9 × 7 = 6 3
The square root of any number that is not a perfect square is an irrational number
Because 7 2 = 4 9 and 8 2 = 6 4 , 6 3 is not a perfect square ⇒ 2 + 7 × 7 i s i r r a t i o n a l

I will prove that 3 7 is irrational first. Assume not, i.e. assume 3 7 = q p , where p and q are positive integers and g cd ( p , q ) = 1 .
3 7 6 3 p 2 ⟹ 2 1 = q p = q 2 p 2 = 6 3 q 2 ∣ p
Let p = 2 1 p 1 .
4 4 1 p 1 2 7 p 1 2 ⟹ 7 = 6 3 q 2 = q 2 ∣ q
But we have already said that g cd ( p , q ) = 1 , but we have just shown that both have 7 as a common factor. Thus, we have a contradiction. Therefore, 3 7 is irrational.
Now, our question in hand asks
2 + 7 × 7 = 9 × 7 = 3 7
But we have already shown that this number is irrational. Therefore, we have proven this number is irrational.
