√24 can be the number shown on the number line. Hence, option A is the right choice.
What is a number line?
The integers are put at equal intervals on number lines, which are horizontal straight lines. A number line can depict all of the numbers in a series. At both ends, this line continues endlessly.
How do we solve the given question?
In the question, we are given a number line showing a point between 4 and 5, which is very close to 5.
We analyze all the given options for a number similar to the number marked on the number line to get the correct option.
To remember, 4 = √16, and 5 = √25
- A. √24: falls between 4 and 5 (∵ √16 < √24 < √25). And also √24 is very close to 5 (√25).
- B. √27: does not fall between 4 and 5 (∵ √27 > √25).
- C. √20: falls between 4 and 5 (∵ √16 < √20 < √25). But not very close to 5.
- D. √26: does not fall between 4 and 5 (∵ √26 > √25).
After analyzing all the given options, only A. √24 and C. √20 fall between 4 and 5, and the closest to 5 among them is √24, so that is the right choice.
∴ √24 can be the number shown on the number line. Hence, option A is the right choice.
