Which statement creates the actual contradiction in the proof for (\sqrt{3})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a) and (b) were assumed coprime, but both turned out divisible by (3)

Step 1: In lowest form, numerator and denominator must be coprime. Step 2: The proof forces both to have (3) as a common factor. Step 3: Coprimality and a common factor cannot occur together.
