If (p) and (q) are non-zero rational numbers and (p+q\sqrt{3}=0), which conclusion is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\sqrt{3}=-\frac{p}{q}) would be true which is impossible
(-\frac{p}{q}) is rational so it would make (\sqrt{3}) rational which is false. In exams recognize the contradiction method.
