Which option correctly distinguishes (q\neq0) and (\gcd(p,q)=1) in the proof of (\sqrt{3})?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (q\neq0) is needed for the fraction and (\gcd(p,q)=1) is the basis of final contradiction

(q\neq0) keeps the fraction defined. (\gcd(p,q)=1) gives contradiction when both are divisible by (3).
