HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER--
let us assume 2+√3 as rational.
⇒2+√3=a/b
∴2-a/b=-√3 or √3=a/b-2
⇒√3=a/b-2
√3=a-2b/b
∵a and b are positive integers
∴a-2b/b is rational
⇒√3 is rational
but we know that √3 is irrational
∴⇒2+√3 is irrational

let 2-√3 be rational number
so, 2-√3=p/q
-√3=p/q-2
since A and B are integers a/b-2 is a rational no. and therefore -√3 is a rational number but this contradicts the fact that is a irrational number
this contradiction arises as we have assumed 2-√3 as a irrational number
