Hey mate,.
Let it be rational number
therefore it can be written in form of a
and b where a and b are co-prime numbers.
=> 2√3=5a/b
5a/b is rational number as it is of the form p/q which is a rational number.
but we know that √3 is irrational number
so our assumption is wrong.
Hence, 2√3/5 is irrational.
Hope it will help you with.

HEY....!!!!
Here ur answer... ^_^
Let 2root 3 / 5 be a rational no. in the form a/b where, a and b are integers.
Now,
2root3 / 5 = a / b
2root3 = 5a / b
root3 = 5a / 2b
Here. since a/b is a rational no., so 5a / 2b is also a rational no.
Hereby, root3 should also be a rational no.
But this contradicts tha fact that root3 is a rational no.
So, our assumption is wrong and hence 2root3 / 5 is an irrational no.
