Questions number 1 to 6 carry 1 mark each.

Question 1.
Find the coordinates of a point A, where AB is a diameter of a circle whose centre is (2, – 3) and B is the point (1, 4).
Answer:
Let coordinates of Point A be (a, b).
As O is the mid point of AB, using mid point formula
∴ (2, -3) = [\(\frac{a+1}{2}\), \(\frac{b+4}{2}\)]
⇒ 2 = \(\frac{a+1}{2}\)
⇒ a + 1 = 4,
⇒ a = 4 – 1 = 3,

– 3 = \(\frac{b+4}{2}\)
b + 4 = -6
b = – 6 – 4 = -10
∴ Coordinates of Point A = (3, -10)

Or
Question 2.
Find the value of k for which the roots of the equation 3x2 – 10x + k = 0 are reciprocal of each other.
Answer:
Given: x2 + 4x + k = 0
Here a = 1, b = 4, c = k
D ≥ 0 …[When roots are real)
D = b2 – 4ac ≥ 0
⇒ (4)2 – 4(1) (k) ≥ 0
⇒ 16 – 4k ≥ 0
⇒ 4k ≤ 16
⇒ k ≤ \(\frac{16}{4}\) ∴ k ≤ 4
Or
Given: 3x2 – 10x + k = 0
Let roots be α and \(\frac{1}{\alpha}\).
Here a = 3, b = – 10, c = k
As we know, Product of Roots (α × \(\frac{1}{\alpha}\)) = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
⇒ 1 = \(\frac{k}{3}\) ∴ k = 3

Question 4.
How many two digit numbers are divisible by 3?
Answer:
Two digit numbers divisible by 3 are 12, 15, 18,…. 99.
Here a = 12, d = 15 – 12 = 3, an = 99
Now, an = a + (n – 1) d = 99
⇒ 12 + (n – 1) (3) = 99
⇒ (n – 1) (3) = 99 – 12
⇒ (n – 1) (3) = 87
⇒ (n – 1) = \(\frac{87}{3}\) = 29
⇒ n = 29 + 1 = 30
∴ There are 30 such numbers.

Answer:
√2 = 1.414 and √3 = 1.732
∴ √2 < 1.5 < √3 ⇒ √2 < \(\frac{3}{2}\) < √3

Question 8.
Which term of the AP 3, 15, 27, 39, will be 120 more than its 21st term?
Or
Question 8.
If Sn, the sum of first n terms of an AP is given by Sn = 3n2 – 4n, find the nth term.
Answer:
Given: A.P.: 3, 15, 27, 39…
Here Ist term, a = 3
Common difference, d = 15 – 3 = 12
Now, an = a21 + 120
a + (n – 1) d = a + 20 d + 120
(n – 1) (12) = 20 (12) + 120
(n – 1) (12) = 240 + 120
(n – 1) 12 = 360
n – 1 = \(\frac{360}{12}\) = 30 ∴ n = 30 + 1 = 31
∴ 31st term is 120 more than its 21st term.
Or
We have, Sn = 3n2 – 4n
When n = 1, S1 = 3(1)2 – 4 (1) = 3 – 4 = -1
When n = 2, S2 = 3(2)2 – 4 (2) = 12 – 8 = 4
Here a1 = S1 = -1
a2 = S2 – S-1 = 4 – (- 1) = 5
∴ d = a2 – a1 = 5 – (- 1) = 6
Now, an = a + (n – 1) d = – 1 + (n – 1) (6)
= -1 + 6n – 6 = 6n – 7

Question 9.
Find the ratio in which the segment joining the points (1, -3) and (4, 5) is divided by r-axis? Also find the coordinates of this point on r-axis.
Answer:
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 2
Let C(x, 0) be on r-axis. Let AC : CB = k: 1 Coordinates of C = Coordinates of C
(x, 0) = (\(\frac{4 k+1}{k+1}\), \(\frac{5 k-3}{k+1}\))
x = \(\frac{4 k+1}{k+1}\)
x = \(\frac{4\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)+1}{\frac{3}{5}+1}\) …[using (i)]
x = \(\frac{\frac{12+5}{5}}{\frac{3+5}{5}}\) = \(\frac{17}{8}\)
0 = \(\frac{5 k-3}{k+1}\)
5k – 3 = 0
5k = 3
k = \(\frac{3}{5}\) ……….. (i)
Therefore, Required Ratio = 3 : 5 and the
coordinates of required point C are (\(\frac{17}{8}\), 0).

Question 10.
A game consists of tossing a coin 3 times and noting the outcome each time. If getting the same result in all the tosses is a success, find the probability of losing the game.
Answer:
Number of outcomes (S) = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT] = 8
Same result in all the tosses (success) can be obtained as (HHH), (TTT), i.e., 2 ways.
P(wins) = \(\frac{2}{8}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ P(losing the game) = 1 – P(wins)
1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{4-1}{4}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Question 11.
A die is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a number which (i) is a prime number (ii) lies between 2 and 6.
Answer:
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(i) Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5 i.e., 3
∴ P(prime number) = \(\frac{3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

(ii) Numbers lying between 2 and 6 are 3,4, 5 i.e., 3
∴ P(Number lies between 2 and 6)
= \(\frac{3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 12.
Find c if the system of equations cx + 3y + (3-, c) = 0; 12x + cy – c = 0 has infinitely many solutions?
Answer:
We have, cx + 3y + (3 – c) = 0
12x + cy – c = 0
For infinitely many solutions,
\(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\)
\(\frac{c}{12}=\frac{3}{c}=\frac{3-c}{-c}\)

Taking 1st two
\(\frac{c}{12}=\frac{3}{c}\)
c2 = 36
⇒ c = ±6

Taking last two
\(\frac{3}{c}=\frac{3-c}{-c}\)
3c – c2 = – 3c
– c2 + 3c + 3c = 0
– c2 + 6c = 0
c (- c + 6) = 0
c = 0or-c + 6 = 0
c = 0 or c = 6
∴ c = 6 is the only common solution.

Section – C

Questions number 13 to 22 carry 3 marks each.

Question 13.
Prove that √2 is an irrational number.
Answer:
Let us assume, to the contrary, that √2 is rational.
That is, we can find integers a and b (≠ 0) such that √2 = \(\frac{a}{b}\).
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√2 = a
Squaring on both sides, and rearranging, we get 2b2 = a2.
Therefore, a2 is divisible by 2 and a is also divisible by 2.
So, we can write a = 2c for some integer c.
Substituting for a, we get 2b2 = 4c2, that is b2 = 2c2.
This means that b2 is divisible by 2 and so b is also divisible by 2.
Therefore, a and b have at least 2 as a common factor. But this contradicts the fact that a and b are coprime.
This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that √2 is rational. So we conclude that √2 is irrational.

Question 14.
Find the value of k such that the polynomial x2 – (k + 6)x + 2 (2k – 1) has sum of its zeroes equal to half of their product.
Answer:
Given: x2 – (k + 6)x + 2(2k – 1)
Here a = 1, b = – (k + 6), c = 2 (2k – 1)
According to Question,
Sum of zeroes = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (Product of zeroes) …[Given
∴ \(\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{c}{a}\right)\)
⇒ \(\frac{-[-(k+6)]}{1}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × \(\frac{2(2 k-1)}{1}\)
⇒ k + 6 = 2k – 1
⇒ 6 + 1 = 2k – k
∴ k = 7

Question 15.
A father’s age is three times the sum of the ages of his two children. After 5 years his age will be two times the sum of their ages. Find the present age of the father.
Or
Question 15.
A fraction becomes \(\frac{1}{3}\) 2 when 2 is subtracted from the numerator and it becomes \(\frac{1}{2}\) when 1 is subtracted from the denominator. Find the fraction.
Answer:
Let the present ages of his children be x years and y years. Then the present age of the father = 3 (x + y)
After 5 years, his children’s ages will be (x + 5) and (y + 5) years respectively.
After 5 years, the father’s age will be = [3 (x + y) + 5] years According to the Question,
3 (x + y) + 5 = 2 [(x + 5) + (y + 5)]
⇒ 3x + 3y + 5 = 2x + 10 + 2y + 10
⇒ 3x + 3y – 2x – 2y = 20 – 5
⇒ x + y = 15
∴ Present age of the father = 3 (x + y) = 3(15) = 45 years
Or
Let the numerator and denominator of required fraction be x and y.
∴ Fraction = \(\frac{x}{y}\)
\(\frac{x-2}{y}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
3x – 6 = y ……… (i)
\(\frac{x}{y-1}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
2x = y – 1
2x = 3x – 6 – 1 …[from (i)
3x – 2x = 7
x = 7
From (i), y = 3 (7) – 6 = 21 – 6 = 15
∴ The required Fraction = \(\frac{x}{y}\) = \(\frac{7}{15}\)

Question 16.
Find the point on y-axis which is equidistant from the points (5, -2) and (-3, 2).
Or
Question 16.
The line segment joining the points A (2, 1) and B (5, -8) is trisected at the points P and Q such that P is nearer to A. If P also lies on the line given by 2x – y + k = 0, find the value of k.
Answer:
Let P (0, y) be the point on y-axis.
Let A (5, -2) and B (-3, 2).
According to Question,
PA = PB
PA2 = PB2 …..[Squaring both sides
(5 – 0)2 +(- 2 – y)2 = (- 3 – 0)2 + (2 – y)2
⇒ 25 + y2 + 4y + 4 = 9 + y2 – 4y + 4
⇒ 4y + 4y = 9 – 25
⇒ 8y = -16 ⇒ y = \(\frac{-16}{8}\) = -2
∴ Required Point = P (0, – 2).
Or
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 3
Here AP : PB = m : n = 1 : 2
Using Section formula,
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 4
= (3,-2)
Now, putting P (3, – 2) in 2x – y + k = 0
⇒ 2 (3) – (-2) + k = 0 ⇒ 6 + 2 + k = 0
⇒ 8 + k = 0
∴ k = – 8

Question 17.
Prove that: (sin θ + cosec θ)2 + (cos θ + sec θ)2 = 7 + tan2θ + cot2θ.
Or
Question 17.
Prove that: (1 + cot A – cosec A) (1 + tan A + sec A) = 2.
Answer:
L.H.S. (sin θ + cosec θ)2 + (cos θ + sec θ)2
= sin2 θ + cosec2 θ + 2 sin θ. cosec θ + cos2 θ + sec2 θ + 2 cos θ sec θ
= (sin2 θ + cos2 θ) + (1 + cot2 θ) + 2 + (1 + tan2 θ) + 2 …[ ∵ cosec2 θ = 1 + cot2 θ, sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ]
= 1 + 1 + cot2 θ + 2 + 1 + tan2 θ + 2 …[∵ sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1
= 7 + tan2 θ + cot2 θ = R.H.S.
Or
L.H.S. = (1 + cot A – cosec A) (1 + tan A + sec A)
= 1 + tan A + sec A + cot A + cot A tan A + cot A sec A – cosec A – cosec A tan A – cosec A sec A

25 + x2 = y2 + 6y + 9
x2 – y2 = 6y + 9 – 25
⇒ x2 – y2 = 6y – 16 ………… (ii)
From solving (i) & (ii),
6y – 16 = 16
⇒ 6y = 32 ⇒ y = \(\frac{32}{6}\) = \(\frac{16}{3}\)
From (i), x2 – (\(\frac{16}{3}\))2 = 16
⇒ x2 = 16 + \(\frac{256}{9}\) = \(\frac{144+256}{9}\) = \(\frac{400}{9}\)
⇒ x = \(\frac{230}{3}\) cm or \(6 . \overline{6}\) cm
Therefore, length of AP = x = \(6 . \overline{6}\) cm.

Questions number 23 to 30 carry 4 marks each.

Question 23.
Two water taps together can fill a tank in 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) g hours. The tap with longer diameter takes hours less than the tap with smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can fill the tank separately.
Or
Question 23.
A boat goes 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream in 10 hours. In 13 hours, it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream. Determine the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water.
Answer:
Let V be the total volume of the tank.
Let smaller water tap alone can fill the tank in x hrs.
Then larger water tap alone can fill the tank in (x – 2) hrs.
According to the Question
\(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{x}+\frac{\mathrm{V}}{x-2}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\frac{15}{8}}\) [∵ Time = 1\(\frac{7}{8}\)hrs = \(\frac{15}{8}\)hrs
V(\(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x-2}\)) = V\(\frac{8}{15}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x-2}\) = \(\frac{8}{15}\)
⇒ 8x (x – 2) = 15 (2x – 2)
⇒ 8x2 – 16x = 30x – 30
⇒ 8x2 – 16x – 30x + 30 = 0
⇒ 8x2 – 46x + 30 = 0
⇒ 4x2 – 23x + 15 = 0 …[divided both sides by 2
⇒ 4x2 – 20x – 3x + 15 = 0
⇒ 4x (x – 5) – 3 (x – 5) = 0
⇒ (4x – 3) (x – 5) = 0
⇒ x – 5 = 0 or 4x – 3 = 0
x = 5 or x = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Rejecting x = \(\frac{3}{4}\) hr, because one tap alone will fill the tank in more than 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) hours.
∴ x = 5 hours
Therefore, Smaller tap can fill the tank in 5 hours and the Larger tap can fill the tank in (5 – 2) = 3 hours.
Or
Let the speed of the boat and stream in still water be x km/hr and y km/hr.
Then the speed of the boat downstream and upstream is (x + y) km/hr and (x – y) km/ hr respectively
According to the Question,
\(\frac{30}{x-y}+\frac{44}{x+y}\) = 10 ………. (i) [∵ Time = \(\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Speed }}\)
\(\frac{40}{x-y}+\frac{55}{x+y}\) = 13 ………. (ii)
Let \(\frac{1}{x-y}\) = p and \(\frac{1}{x+y}\) = q
30p+ 44q = 10 ……. (iii)
40p + 55q = 13 …… (iv)
Multiplying Eq. (iii) by 4 and (iv) by 3, we have
120p + 176q = 40 ………. (v)
120p + 165q = 39 …………. (vi)
Subtracting (vi) from (v), we get
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 11
Putting the value of q in (iii), p = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ \(\frac{1}{x-y}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
x – y = 5
x = 5 + y …….. (A)
\(\frac{1}{x+y}\) = \(\frac{1}{11}\)
x + y = 11
5 + y + y = 11 …[From (A)
2y = 11 – 5 = 6
y = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3
Putting the value of y in (A), x = 5 + 3 = 8
Hence, the speed of the boat in still water is 8 km/hr. and the speed of the stream is 3 knyhr.

Question 24.
If the sum of first four terms of an AP is 40 and that of its first 14 terms is 280. Find the sum of its first n terms.
Answer:
As we know Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a + (n – 1)d]
As per question
S4 = 40
\(\frac{4}{2}\)[2a + (4 – 1)d] = 40
2(2a + 3d) = 40
2a + 3d = 20 …….. (i)

S14 = 280
\(\frac{14}{2}\)[2a + (4 – 1)d] = 280
7(2a + 13d) = 280
2a + 3d = 40 ……… (ii)
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 12
Putting the value of d =2 in (ii), we get a = 7
∴ Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\) [2(7) + (n – 1) . 2]
= \(\frac{n}{2}\)2[7 + n – 1]
= n (n +6) or n2 + 6n [Hence Proved

From a point between them on the road, the angles of elevation of the top of the poles are 60° and 30° respectively. Find the height of the poles and the distances of the point from the poles.
Answer:
Let AB be the light house, C and D be the two positions of the boat
In rt. ΔABC,
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 14
BD = 100√3 ; Now, CD = BD – BC
CD = 100√3 – \(\frac{100 \sqrt{3}}{3}\)
= 100√3(1 – \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 100√3(\(\frac{2}{3}\))
= 100(1.732) × \(\frac{2}{3}\) = \(115.4 \overline{6}\) m
Distance covered by boat in 2 minutes = 115.46 m.
∴ Speed of the boat in 1 min. = \(\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Time }}\)
= \(\frac{115.4 \overline{6}}{2 \min .}\) = 57.73 m/min.
Or
Let AB = DE = y m be the two poles such that BD = 80 m, CD = xm and BC = 80 – x m
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 15
In rt. ΔCDE,
tan 30° = \(\frac{\mathrm{DE}}{\mathrm{CD}}\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{y}{x}\) ⇒ x = √3 y ……… (i)
In rt. ΔABC,
tan 60° = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{BC}}\)
\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}=\frac{y}{80-x}\) ⇒ y = √3(80 – x)
⇒ y = √3(80 – √3 y) ….[From (i)
⇒ y = 80 √3 – 3y ⇒ 4y = 80√3
⇒ y = \(\frac{80 \sqrt{3}}{4}\) = 20√3m = 20(1.73) = 34.6m
Putting the value of y in (i),
x= √3(20√3) ⇒ x = 60 m
∴ CD, x = 60 m
BC = 80 – x = 80 – 60 = 20 m
∴ Height of poles = 20 √3 m & Distance of poles from the point are 20 m and 60 m.

Answer:
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 17
∴ f1 + f2 + 31 = 40 ⇒ f1 + f2 40 – 31 = 9
f1 = 9 – f2 ………… (i)
Here, \(\frac{n}{2}\) = \(\frac{40}{2}\) = 20
Median = 32.5 …[Given
∴ Median class is 30 – 40.
Median = l + \(\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c . f .}{f}\) × h …[l = 30, c.f = f1 + 14, f = 12, n = 10
32.5 = 30 + \(\frac{20-\left(f_1+14\right)}{12}\) × 10
32.5 – 30= \(\frac{\left(20-f_1-14\right)}{6}\) × 5
2.5= \(\frac{\left(6-f_1\right)}{6}\) × 5
⇒ 15 = 30 – 5f1 ⇒ 5f1 = 30 – 15
⇒ 5f1 = 15 ⇒ f1 = \(\frac{15}{5}\)
Putting the value of fa in (i), 3 + f2 = 9
⇒ f2 = 9 – 3 = 6 ∴ f1 = 3 f2 = 6

a + 3 = -4
a = – 4 – 3 = – 7
[latex]\frac{b+4}{2}[latex] = 2
b + 4 = 4
b = 4 – 4 = 0
∴ A(-7, 0)

Question 7.
Find the value of k for which the following pair of linear equations have infinitely many solutions. 2x + 3y = 7, (k + 1)x + (2k – 1)y = 4k + 1
Answer:
We have, 2x + 3y = 7
(k + 1)x + (2k – 1)y = 4k + 1
For infinitely many solutions, [latex]\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\)
\(\frac{2}{k+1}=\frac{3}{2 k-1}=\frac{7}{4 k+1}\)
Taking 1st two
\(\frac{2}{k+1}=\frac{3}{2 k-1}\)
4k – 2 = 3k + 3
4k – 3k = 3 + 2
k = 5

Taking last two
\(\frac{3}{2 k-1}=\frac{7}{4 k+1}\)
14k – 7 = 12k + 3
14k – 12k – 3 + 7
2k = 10
⇒ k = \(\frac{10}{2}\) = 5
∴ k = 5 is the solution as it is common in both the cases.

60 – 80 k 70 70 k
80 – 100 13 90 1170
Σfi = 72 + k Σfixi = 3340 + 70k

As we know, Mean = \(\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}\)
⇒ \(\frac{3340+70 k}{72+k}\)
⇒ 3340 + 70k = 53 (72 + k)
⇒ 340 + 70k = 3816 + 53k
⇒ 70k – 53k = 3816 – 3340
⇒ 17k = 476
⇒ k = \(\frac{476}{17}\) = 28 ∴ k = 28

Answer:
CBSE Class 10 Maths Question Paper 2019 (Series JMS 1) with Solutions 24
AB = 10 cm,
BC = 8 cm and
AC = 12 cm
As we know,
AN = AM
BN = BL
CL = CM
Let BL = BN = x cm,
∴ CL = BC – BL
= (8 – x) cm = CM
Similarly, AN = AM
⇒ AN = AB – BN = (10 – x) cm
AC = 12 cm …(Given)
⇒ AM + CM = 12 ⇒ 10 – x + 8 – x = 12
⇒ 18 – 2x = 12 ⇒ 6 = 2x ∴ x = 3
∴ BL = 3 cm, CM = 5 cm, AN = 7 cm

Question 24.
The first term of an AP is 3, the last term is 83 and the sum of all its terms is 903. Find the number of terms and the common difference of the AP.
Answer:
We know, a = 3, an = 83, Sn = 903
Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)(a + an) = 903
⇒ \(\frac{n}{2}\)(3 + 83) = 903
⇒ \(\frac{n}{2}\)(86) = 903 ⇒ 43n = 903
∴ n = \(\frac{903}{43}\) = 21
Now, an = 83
⇒ a + (n – 1) d = 83 ⇒ 3 + (21 – 1) d = 83
⇒ 20d = 83 – 3 ⇒ 20d = 80
∴ d = \(\frac{80}{20}\) = 4
Therefore, The number of terms, n = 21 and Common difference, d = 4.

Or
Question 7.
If the sum of first n terms of an AP is n2, then find its 10th term.
Answer:
Two digit natural numbers divisible by 7 are 14, 21, 28 98.
First term, a = 14
Common difference, d = 21 – 14 = 7
Last term, an = 98
a + (n – 1) d = 98
14 + (n – 1) 7 = 98
⇒ (n – 1)7 = 98 – 14
⇒ (n – 1) = \(\frac{84}{7}\) y ⇒ n -1 = 12
∴ n = 12 + 1 = 13
Therefore, there are 13 two digit numbers that are divisible by 7.
Or
Sn = n2 …[Given
When n = 10, S10 = 102 = 100
When n = 9, S9 = 92 = 81
∴ 10th term, a10 = S10 – S9
= 100 – 81 = 19
Thus the 10th term of the AP is 19.

Question 15.
Prove that \(\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{5}\) is an irrational number, given that √3 is an irrational number.
Answer:
Let us assume, to the contrary, that \(\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{5}\) is rational.
That is, we can find co-primes a and b,
(b ≠ 0) such that \(\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{5}\) = \(\frac{a}{b}\).
⇒ 2 + √3 = \(\frac{5 a}{b}\) ⇒ √3 = \(\frac{5 a}{b}\) – 2
⇒ √3 = \(\frac{5 a-2 b}{b}\)
Since a and b are integers, we get (\(\frac{5 a}{b}\)– 2) is rational, and so √3 is rational.
But this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational.
This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that \(\) is rational.
So, we conclude that \(\) is irrational.
