hii
here is ur answer
let us assume root 2 is rational
root 2 =a/b(b not = 0 , a and b are co prime)
square on both sides
(√2)^2 = (a/b)^2
2=a^2/b^2
b^2=a^2/2------------1
2 divides a^2 then 2 divides a also
a=2c
subsu 1 with b^2=a^2/2
b^2=(2c)^2/2
b^2=4c^2/2
b^2=2c^2
b^2/2=c^2
2 divides b^2 then 2 divides b also
2 is a factor of b^2 also
therefore a and b have st least 2 as a common factor
but this contradicts that facts that a and b are co prime
this contradicts has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that √2 is rational
so, we conclude that √2 is irrrational
hope it will help you
