Step-by-step explanation:

Its wrong questions

Answer 2

Answer:

sure .

start by assuming it is Rational and later prove that this assumption leads to contradiction to a Know Fact.

for example put root two as Ratio of 2 Integers p and q such That p,q have NO common factors.

Now squaring the above Equation , 2 is ratio of squares . you get P square as Even number . only possible if p itself is even as also q .

Contradiction : If both p and q are even , they have a Common Factor (2).

This means root 2 cannot be expressed as Ratio and hence os NOT rational.
