  1. Let 7√5 is rational.
    Therefore, we can find two co-prime integers a, b (b ≠ 0) such that
    7√5 = a/b
    ⇒ √5 = a/7b
    a/7b is rational as a and b are integers.
    Therefore, √5 should be rational.
    This contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational. Therefore, our assumption that 7√5 is rational is false. Hence, 7√5 is irrational.
