Question 15 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which is the wrong step that shows $\displaystyle 5-\sqrt{3}$ is irrational?
(I) Contradiction : Assume that $\displaystyle 5-\sqrt{3}$ is rational
(II) Find coprime a & b $\displaystyle \left ( b\neq 0 \right )$ such that $\displaystyle 5-\sqrt{3}=\frac{a}{b},\therefore 5-\frac{a}{b}=\sqrt{3}$
Rearranging above equation $\displaystyle \sqrt{3}=5-\frac{a}{b}=\frac{5b-a}{b}$
(III) Since a & b are integers we get $\displaystyle 5-\frac{a}{b}$ is irrational and so $\displaystyle \sqrt{3}$ is irrational
(IV) But this contradicts the fact that $\displaystyle \sqrt{3}$ is irrational Hence $\displaystyle 5-\sqrt{3}$ is irrational

  1. Both I and II
  2. Only III
  3. Only II
  4. Both II and III
