Answer:
let us assume that √2 is rational
then √2 = a/b
b√2 = a
squaring on both sides
a² = 2b²
if 5 divides a then 5 also divides b
a = 2c
squaring on both sides
a²=4c²
2b²=4c²
b²=4c²
here a,b,c have 2 as common factor
so,2 is rational number
but √2 is irrational
this contradiction has arrisen due to our incorrect assumption
this contadicts the fact that√2 is irrational
hope it helps u
