Q: 16 √5 is an irrational number. Meera was asked to prove that (3 + √5) is an irrational [2]
number.

Shown below are the steps of Meera's proof:

p
Step 1 Let (3 + √5) be a rational number. Then (3 + √5) can be written as , where p and q (
q

q ≠ 0) are co-primes.
Step 2 Hence, √5 = (
p
q - 3).

Step 3 Since p and q are integers, (

p
q - 3) is also an integer.

Step 4 Since (
p
q - 3) is an integer and every integer is a rational number, (
p
q - 3) is a rational number. It implies
that √5 is a rational number.

Step 5 But this contradicts the fact that √5 is an irrational number. Hence, (3 + √5) is an
irrational number.

Q: 21 In the competitive world of smartphone data plans, two leading telecom companies, [3]
TechConnect and SwiftLink offer distinct pricing structures. TechConnect charges a
base monthly fee of Rs 300, along with an additional Rs 15 for each gigabyte (GB) of
data used beyond the initial 5 GB included in the plan. In contrast, SwiftLink offers a
different pricing model with a flat monthly fee of Rs 600 for unlimited data usage.

i) Express the data plan structure for TechConnect in the form of linear equation. Use c
as the total cost (in Rs) and d as the data usage (in GB).

ii) At what point of data usage the cost of a data plan with TechConnect becomes equal
to the cost of the data plan with SwiftLink?
