Answer:
Let 3–5√3 be a rational number and let it be p/q such that p and q are integers and they are not sharing any common factor i. e. they are co-prime integers.
3–5√3 = p/q, therefore ——- I
3–p/q = 5√3, therefore ——- II
(3 - p/q) / 5 = √3 ————— III
The LHS here is a rational number and it is well known that RHS, which is √3 is an irrational number. This is contradictory and since step III is a logical conclusion of step II, which is a logical conclusion of step I, we conclude that step I itself is false and 3–5√3 can’t be a rational number and thus it is proved that 3–5√3 is an irrational number.
