Answer:
7√5 = p/q. As, we can see that p/7q is rational so √5 should also be rational. But this contradict the fact that √5 is irrational. So, by this we can say that 7√5 is irrational number

Let us assume that 7√5 is rational number
Hence, 7√5 can be written in the form of a/b where a, b are co-prime and b not equal to 0.
7√5 = a/b
√5 = a/7b
here √5 is irrational and a/7b is rational number.
Rational number ≠ Irrational number
It is contradiction to our assumption 7√5 is rational number.
Therefore, 7√5 is an irrational number.
Hence, proved.
