26) Let √3 be a rational number

squaring on both the sides

𝑎 2
(√3) = (𝑏 ) 1/2
𝑎2

𝑎2 is divisible by 3 so a is also divisible by 3_________(1)

𝑙𝑒𝑡 a=3cfor any integer c.
(3𝑐)2 =3b2 1/2
𝑎𝑐 2 =3𝑏 2
𝑏 2 =3𝑐 2
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑏 2 is divisible by 3 so, b is also divisible by 3 _____(2)
From (1) & (2) we can say that 3 in a factor of a and b 1/2
which is contradicting the fact that a and b are co- primes.
Thus, our assumption that √3 is a rational number is wrong.
Hence, √3 is an irrational number. 1/2
