let 1/√2 is rational no
1/√2 =p /q (q is not equal to zero)
√2=q/p
LHS is irrational
RHS is irrational
LHS is not equal to RHS.
our supposition is wrong
hence 1/√2 is irrational. please mark me brainliest i need it

Oɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴀʀʏ, sᴜᴘᴘᴏsᴇ ᴛʜᴀᴛ 1/√2 ɪs ᴀ ʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ɴᴜᴍʙᴇʀ ;
ᴛʜᴇɴ 1/√2 ɪs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ғᴏʀᴍ ᴏғ P/Q ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ P ᴀɴᴅ Q ᴀʀᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇɢᴇʀs.
∴ 1/√2 = P/Q (ᴏʙᴠɪᴏᴜsʟʏ P, Q ≠ 0)
⇒ √2/1 = Q/P
