Answer

As we know that, for any two rational numbers ab\dfrac{a}{b} and cd\dfrac{c}{d}, (a+cb+d)\Big(\dfrac{a + c}{b + d}\Big) is also a rational number with its value lying between ab\dfrac{a}{b} and cd\dfrac{c}{d}.

The rational number between 12\dfrac{1}{2} and 21\dfrac{2}{1} is (1+22+1)\Big(\dfrac{1 + 2}{2 + 1}\Big)

= (33)\Big(\dfrac{3}{3}\Big)

=1

Hence, one rational number between 12\dfrac{1}{2} and 2 is 1.
