Answer:
let us assume that 3√2 is rational
Then we have two integers a and b such that:
3√2=a/b
√2=a/3b
a,b and 3 are integers,hence a/3b is rational
Since a/3b is rational
hence√2 is rational
But this contadicts the fact that √2 is irrational.
This contradiction has arisen due to our incorrect assumption that 3√2 is rational.
Hence 3√2 is irrational
