Ramanujam's proof!!...can u find any flaws?


This seems to be an anomoly or whatever u call it in mathematics.


See this illustration:-


-6 = -6


9 -15 = 4-10


(adding 25/4 to both sides)


9 -15 +(25/4) = 4-10 +(25/4)


Changing the order,we get :-


9 +(25/4) -15 = 4+(25/4) -10


(This is just like : a square + b square -2ab = (a - b)square)


Here, a= 3, b= 5/2 for the L.H.S & a =2, b= 5/2 for the R.H.S


So,it can be expressed as:-


(3-5/2)(3-5/2) = (2-5/2)(2-5/2)


Taking positive square on both sides:-


3 -5/2 = 2 -5/2


3 = 2


ANY FLAWS????
