Taking two irrational numbers as 3 + √2 and 1 + √2 

Their difference is a rational number. But if we take two irrational numbers as 2 – √3 and 4 + √7. 

Their difference is again an irrational number. So unless we know the two irrational numbers we cannot say that their difference is a rational number or irrational number.
