Answer:
Let us assume 3√5 is a rational number.
3√5 = a/b (where b≠0)
3 = a/b-√5
Squaring on both sides...
(3)² = [a/b-√5]²
9 = [a²/b²+(√5)²-2(a/b) (√5)
[Since (a-b) ²= a²+b²-2ab]
Rearranging.....
2a/b√5 = a²/b²+25-9
2a/b √5 = a²/b² +16
2a/b √5 = a²+16b²/b²
√5 = a²+16b²/b²×b/2a
√5 = a²+16b²/2ab
Here L. H. S = √5 = irrational number.
R. H. S = a²+16b²/2ab = rational number.
An irrational number is not equal to rational number. This contradicts the fact.
So, our assumption is wrong that 3√5 is a rational number.
:. 3√5 is an irrational number.....
Hence proved.
