Open in App
Solution
Let us assume that
1
√
2
is rational number
Hence
1
√
2
can be written in the form of
a
b
where
a
,
b
(
b
≠
0
)
are co-prime
⟹
1
√
2
=
a
b
⟹
b
a
=
√
2
But here
√
2
is irrational and
b
a
is rational
as
R
a
t
i
o
n
a
l
≠
I
r
r
a
t
i
o
n
a
l
This is a contradiction so
1
√
2
is a irrational number
