Question

Prove that √p+ √q is an irrational, where p, q are primes is an irrational, where p. q are primes​

Answer 1

=> √q = a – √pSquaring on both sides we getq = a2 + p - 2a√p=> √p = a2 + p - q/2a which is a contradiction as the right hand side is rational number while √p is irrational. Hence √p + √q is irrational.
