Answer:
⟹ The number √3 is irrational ,it cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers a and b. To prove that this statement is true, let us Assume that it is rational and then prove it isn't (Contradiction).
⟹ Say, √5 is a rational number. ∴ It can be expressed in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers. Hence, p,q have a common factor 5. ... Therefore 2-√5 is also irrational because difference of a rational and an irrational number is always an irrational number

Step-by-step explanation:
let √ 3 be rational
