Which option gives the correct reasoning to reach (q) in the proof for (\sqrt{3})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Putting (p=3k) gives (q^2=3k^2), so (3\mid q)

Step 1: Substitute (p=3k) in (p^2=3q^2). Step 2: Simplifying gives (q^2=3k^2), so (3\mid q^2) and (3\mid q). Step 3: This is the second divisibility step.
