let 3√7 be rational
then 3√7=a/b where a and b are integers
√7 =a/3b
since a and b are Integers therefore a/3b is rational but this contradicts the fact that √7 is irrational
hence 3√7 is irrational

Answer:
to prove 3/√7 is irrational
first rationalise the denominator
3/√7=3*√7/(√7)²
⇒3√7/7
let us assume that 3√7/7 is rational
∴3√7/7=a/b,where a and b are co-primes
√7=7a/3b
7a/3b is a rational number
so √7 is also a rational number
but this contradicts the fact that √7 is irrational.
thois contradiction has arisen because of our wrong assumption that 3/√7 is rational.
∴3/√7 is irrational
