(a +1)
Therefore, √3 = 2a
, which is a contradiction as the RHS is a
rational while √3 is an irrational.
Hence,√2 + √3 is an irrational.

(a + b)(a − b) = a − b
So,

[Proof by Contradiction]
Solution:
(i)
Let us assume that 1
is a rational number.
√2
∴√2 × a = b
b
∴√2 = a
√2

(ii)
Let us assume that 7√5 is a rational number.
Then, 7√5 = , where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are coprime.
a
∴7√5 b = a
a
∴√5 = 7b
7b
is a rational number.
This means √5 is rational.
But this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational. So, our assumption was
wrong.
Therefore, 7√5 is an irrational number.
