Sol. Let √𝟓 be a rational number.

𝐩 ½
∴ √𝟓 = 𝐪 , where q≠0 and let p & q be co-primes.
5q2 = p2 ⟹ p2 is divisible by 5 ⟹ p is divisible by 5 1
⟹ p = 5a, where ‘a’ is some integer ----- (i)
25a2 = 5q2 ⟹ q2 = 5a2 ⟹q2 is divisible by 5 ⟹ q is divisible by 5 ½
⟹ q = 5b, where ‘b’ is some integer ----- (ii)
(i) and (ii) leads to contradiction as ‘p’ and ‘q’ are co-primes. 1
∴ √𝟓 is an irrational number.
