How To Prove 1=2 Mathematically

How To Prove 1=2 Mathematically

Here I would like to share a fun kind of thing, which is not really incorrect, but that is also not correct. Think how can it be possible, that 1=2. If it is possible, are you going to give me your $2 in exchange of my $1. Obviously not. But that can be proved mathematically and I would love to share this trick with my readers. I think you will enjoy.

I also want to challenge, if you could prove this wrong. As I am dead sure, there is nothing wrong, but again how can be 1 = 2.

Suppose,

x = y --------------------------------(1)

so           x² = y²

if we delete  from both side, there is nothing wrong in equation.

x² - y²= y² - y²--------------------------------(2)

or, by algebraic factors, we can write the above equation as

                (x+y)(x-y)= xy - y²  (from equation 1, y could be replace by x also, so y²=xy)

Or           (x+y)(x-y)= y(x-y)

Or           (x+y)=y(x-y)/(x-y)

Or           x + y = y

Again from equation (1) , x could be replaced by y, so the above equation can be also written as

                y + y = y

or            2y = y

If we divide the left hand side and right hand side by y

Then      2y/y=y/y

Or           2=1

Now It’s a challenge for you to prove this wrong…
