Answer:
We have to prove that 3√2 is irrational number
So let's assume opposite
i.e 3√2 is rational number
Hence, 3√2 can be written in the form a/ b
Where a and b are coprimes (have no common factor other than 1) b≠0
Hence , 3√2 = a/b
√2 = a/3b
√2 is irrational
but a/3b is rational
Since, irrational≠ rational
This is a contradict
So , our assumption was incorrect
3√ 2 is irrational number
