Answer:
Let us assume to the contrary that 3√7 is a rational number
Then , 3√7 = a÷b where a and b are coprime integers and b not equal to 0
√7 = a÷3b
Therefore , we get a÷3b as rational
So √7 is also rational.
But this contradicts the fact that √7 is irrational
This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that 3√7 is rational.
So we conclude that 3√7 is irrational.
