Let root5 is rational no. rational no. are p/q, qnot equal to 0 , p&q are co prime number √5=p/q √5q=p Squaring on both side (√5q)square=psquare 5qsquare

Let, us consider as root 5 is rational,where pandq are co primes √5=p÷q then √5q=p where q divides p ,so in our assumtion the root 5 is rational ia wrong ,so in the contradiction root 5is rational is correct

Let us assume that √5 is a rational number.
we know that the rational numbers are in the form of p/q form where p,q are intezers.
so, √5 = p/q
     p = √5q
we know that 'p' is a rational number. so √5 q must be rational since it equals to p
but it doesnt occurs with √5 since its not an intezer
therefore, p  = √5q
this contradicts the fact that √5 is an irrational number
hence our assumption is wrong and √5 is an irrational number.
