Given - √2 is a irrational no.
Let us assume contradict that 5 + 3√2 is a rational number.
5 + 3√2 = a / b {where a and b are co-
prime integers}
3√2 = a / b - 5
√2 = a / b - 5/3 -----------1
So , from equation 1
We observe that a / b - 5/3 is a rational number whereas we already know that √2 is a irrational number. So, they cannot be equal .So, our assumption is wrong 5 + 3√2 is a irrational number-- ----------------------Hence Proved --------------------
