Answer:
take root 3 to be rational
therefore , root 3 = a/b where a and b are co primes and a and b are not equal to zero .
taking b to LHS , root 3 b = a
squaring both sides , 3b² = a²
∴ 3 is a factor of a
now a = 3c where c is some integer
squaring
a² = 9c²
3b² =9c²
b²= 3c²
∴ 3 is a factor of b
hence our supposition is wrong
∴ √3 is irrational
we know that rational - irrational = irrational ....
hence proved
