Which property is used decisively in the proof by contradiction that \(\sqrt{3}\) is irrational?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: यदि \(3\mid n^2\), तो \(3\mid n\)।

From \(p^2=3q^2\), \(3\mid p^2\); since 3 is prime, \(3\mid p\). Put \(p=3k\) to obtain \(3\mid q\), a contradiction. C fails at \(n=3\). Tip: use the prime-divisor rule.
