Let  \: us  \: assume  \: that  \: 20 +  \sqrt{3}  \: is \: a \: rational \: number

There exist co - prime integers a and b ( b is not equal to 0 ) such that ,

20 +  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{a}{b}

 -  >  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{a}{b}  - 20

 -  >  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{a - 20b}{b}

We know that a and b are co - prime numbers

So \:  \frac{a - 20b}{b}  \: is \: rational \: number \: ...so \:  \sqrt{3} is \: rational \: no.

But  \: this  \: contradicts  \: the fact  \: that  \:  \sqrt{3}  \: is \: irrational

So our assumption is wrong..

20 +  \sqrt{3}  \: is \: irrational \: number

I hope it helps u dear friend ^_^
