Let 3√2 be a rational number.

=> 3√2 = p/q (p and q are co primes)

=> √2 = p/3q

Since p and q are integers we get p/3q a rational number . So √2 is also a rational number. But this contradicts the fact that √2 is an irrational number . So our assumption is wrong . As a result 3√2 is an irrational number.

let \: us \: assume \: that \: 3 \sqrt{2} is \: rational \: then \\ 3 \sqrt{2}  =  \frac{p}{q}  \\  \sqrt{2}  =  \frac{p}{3q}  \\ now \:  \frac{p}{q} is \: rational \: then \:  \frac{p}{3q}  \: is \: also \: rational \: but \: it \: is \: wrong \: so \: our \: assumption \: is \: wrong \: so \: 3 \sqrt{2}  \: is \: irrational
