Prove that (2sqrt(3))/5 is irrational....

Prove that `(2sqrt(3))/5` is irrational.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let us assume that 2 sqrt3 +sqrt5 is rational number
Let `p/q=(2 sqrt3) /5` is rational number
Multiplying 5/2 on both side we get,
`p/q xx 5/2 = (2 sqrt3) /5 xx5/2`
`:. (5p)/(2q) = sqrt3`
As we know` p/q` is rational number
`:. (5p)/(2q)` is also rational number
But sqrt3 is not a rational number
