Answer:
Let root3 an rational no .
root 3 = p/q (p and q are co prime integers where q is not equal to 0)
Squaring both sides
3 = p^2 /q^2
p^2 = 3q^2
p^2 is divisible by 3
p is divisible by 3 -equation 1st
let c some integer
p=3c
Squaring both sides
p^2 = 9c^2
3q^2 = 9c^2 (FROM EQUATION IST )
q^2 = 3c^2
q^2 is divisible by 3
q is divisible by 3
P and Q both have commom factor 3
but p and q are co prime integers that we assume
So our assumption is wrong
Hence root3 is an irrational no.
