$(i)$ The given statement is false. There lies infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational number. Hence, number of rational numbers between $15$ and $18$ are infinite.

$(ii)$ The given statement is true. For example, $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}}$ is of the form $\frac{p}{q}$ but $p=\sqrt{3}$ and $q=\sqrt{5}$ are not integers.
