26. If possible, suppose that 2 is rational. and x + 2y= 21
(_ x = charges for 3 days and 2y for 2 days)
r
⇒ 2 = s , where r and s are integers and s ≠ 0 ∴ these two equations form the required linear pair.
Let r and s have some common factor other than 1, then Eliminate x by subtracting second eqn. from first eqn.
divide r and s by that common factor and let us get ∴ 2y= 27 – 21 ⇒ 2y = 6 ⇒ y = 3
a Putting y = 3 in first equation, we get, x + 4 (3) = 27

Putting a= 2K in (1), we get 4K2 = 2b2

⇒ lb + 3l – 5b – 15 = lb – 9
∴ our supposition that 2 is rational, is wrong and ⇒ 3l – 5b – 6 = 0 ...(1)

hence 2 is irrational. Also given, (l + 3) (b + 2) = lb + 67
