➡Assume that √5 is rational
√5= where p and q are coprime
P = √5q Squaring both sides
-----------------(1)
Now p^2 is divisible by 5 so that by Theorem 1.2 p is also divisible by 5
So,
p = 5r (where r is any positive integer) --------(2)
Putting value of eq. (2) in (1)
we get,
Now on dividing from 5 on both sides
we get, =
So we can conclude that p and q both have common factor 5 so they are not co-prime.
This problem erosion due to wrong assumption that √5 is rational.
So,
√5 is irrational.
