  2. Let 1/√2 is rational.
    Therefore, we can find two co-prime integers a, b (b ≠ 0) such that
    1/√2 = a/b
    Or
    √2 = b/a
    b/a is as a and b are integers.
    Therefore, √2 is rational which contradicts to the fact that √2 is irrational.
    Hence, our assumption is false and 1/√2 is irrational.
