    Therefore if the gcd of gcd (m, n, i, j) = 1 then we can conclude that the number is rational.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Negation of the statement: x+y are rational then x and y are also rational

    ∃m, n, i, j∈Z gcd (m, n) = 1 gcd (i, j) = 1

    Then x=m/n and y=i/j

    So when, x+y=mn+ij=m∗j+i∗nn∗j

    Therefore if the gcd of gcd (m, n, i, j) = 1 then we can conclude that the number is rational.
