No it cannot. Math is an exact science. As it has been said before, A number can either be written as the quotient of two integers or it cannot. You can't have it both ways.

A rational number cannot also be irrational. A real number is either rational, or it is irrational.
All irrational numbers are Real numbers - it's part of the definition of an irrational number. Imaginary numbers are neither rational nor irrational. An example of a number that is both Real and irrational is the square root of two. Another example is the number pi.
yes. an irrational number is any real number that is not a rational number
None. A rational number is a number that can be written as the quotient of two integers where the divisor is not zero. An irrational number is a real number that cannot be written as the quotient of two integers where the divisor is not zero. Any given real number either can or cannot be written as the quotient of two integers. If it can, it is rational. If it cannot, it is irrational. You can't be both at the same time. The square root of -1 is not a real number and it cannot be written as the quotient of two integers, so it is neither rational nor irrational.
Both are part of the real numbers; both are infinite sets. (However, there are more irrational than rational numbers.)Both are part of the real numbers; both are infinite sets.
