Answer:
HEYA MATE HERE IS UR ANSWER-
Let us assume the given number be rational and we will write the given number in p/q form
⇒5√3
= q/p
⇒ √3
= q/5q−p
We observe that LHS is irrational and RHS is rational, which is not possible.
This is contradiction.
Hence our assumption that given number is rational is false
⇒5√3 is irrational

Answer:
Hence Proved
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 5√3 be rational number
5√3 = p/q , pand q are coprimes, q≠0
√3 = p/5q
Here √3 is irrational therefore p/5q should be irrational but it is rational number as p and q are coprimes
Therefore it contradicts our assumption that 5√3 is rational
Hence 5√3 is an irrational number
