Prove me wrong, 2=3!

2 is equal to 3
2 is equal to 3

Yeah! To be frank, it’s a challenge (Maths Trick)…
You can’t prove me wrong. If I’m saying 2 is equal to 3, I’ll obviously prove it here.
This mathematical trick is the presentation of a rare wit of
Mr Abhay Kumar.

Let’s come to the point!!!!
Let’s consider an equation. Is it true??? Think about it!!

-6 = -6
4-10 = 9-15
(2)² - 2˟2˟5/2 = (3)² - 2˟3˟5/2

[Here: 10 = 2˟2˟5/2, 15 = 2˟3˟5/2]

Adding (5/2)² in both side the above equation
(2)² - 2˟2˟5/2 + (5/2)² = (3)² - 2˟3˟5/2 + (5/2)²

Now we can use the formula
(a-b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
(2-5/2)² = (3-5/2)²
2-5/2 = √ (3-5/2)²
2-5/2 = (3-5/2)
2-5/2 = 3-5/2
2 = 3-5/2+5/2
2 = 3-0

2 = 3 (Proved)
