5. Intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in brackets along the
questions.
6. All working, including rough work, must be clearly shown and should be done on the
same sheet as the rest of the answer. Omission of essential working will result in loss of
marks.

(b) Let us assume that 2 is a rational number, then

2
p
q
------(1)
Where p and q are integers, co-prime to each other and q 0 .

On squaring both sides, we get
p2
p2 2q2 (2)
q2
By eq. (2) we can say that p2 is an even integer

p is also an even integer ( the square of an even integer is always even)
Let p = 2k, where k is an integer.
From (2),
p2 = 2q2
(2k)2 = 2q2
4k 2 = 2q2 q2 = 2k 2
q2 is an even integer, q is also an even integer.
p and q have a common factor 2 which contradicts the hypothesis that p, q are coprime to each other.
2 is an irrational number.
