Let us assume, to the contrary, that 3 √ 2 is
rational. Then, there exist co-prime positive integers a and b such that
3 √ 2= a/b
⇒ √ 2 = a/3b
⇒ √ 2 is rational ...[∵3,a and b are integers∴ 1/3b is a rational number]
This contradicts the fact that √ 2 is irrational.
So, our assumption is not correct.
Hence, 3 √ 2 is an irrational number.
