Exercise 1.3 Real Numbers | CBSE Class 10th Mathematics | Solutions

Question 1. Prove that √5 is irrational.

Solution : Let us assume, to the contrary, that √5 is rational.
That is, we can find integers a and b (≠ 0) such that :
a
√5=
b
Suppose a and b have a common factor other than 1, then we can divide by the common factor, and assume that a and b are coprime.
So, b √5 = a⋅

Points to remember

  • An algorithm is a series of well defined steps which gives a procedure for solving a type of problem. The word algorithm comes from the name of the 9th century Persian mathematician al-Khwarizmi.
  • A lemma is a proven statement used for proving another statement.
  • Euclid’s Division Lemma : Given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b.
  • Euclid’s division algorithm : Euclid’s division algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two given positive integers. This is based on Euclid’s division lemma. According to this, the HCF of any two positive integers c and d, with c > d, is obtained as follows:
