Answer 1

Answer:

Let's prove this by the method of contradiction-

Say, √5 is a rational number. ∴ It can be expressed in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers.

⇒√5=p/q

⇒5=p²/q² {Squaring both the sides}

⇒5q²=p² (1)

⇒p² is a multiple of 5. {Euclid's Division Lemma}

⇒p is also a multiple of 5. {Fundamental Theorm of arithmetic}

⇒p=5m

⇒p²=25m² (2)

From equations (1) and (2), we get,

5q²=25m²

⇒q²=5m²

⇒q² is a multiple of 5. {Euclid's Division Lemma}

⇒q is a multiple of 5.{Fundamental Theorm of Arithmetic}
