Answer:
Let us assume that root 3 is rational, so we can find two integers such that root 3 = p/q where p and q are co- primes.
p = q root 3
p² = 3q² ==> p²/3 = q²
If 3 divides p², 3 divides p also
ie, 3 is a factor of p
p= 3a ==> p² = 9 a²
3q² = 9a² ==> q² = 3a² ==> a² = q²/3
If 3 divides q² , 3 divides q also
ie, 3 is a factor of q
Ie, p and q have no common factors
Hence , our assumption is wrong.
THEREFORE root 3 is irrational.
