Let us suppose that 2+5root3 is rational.
Then,
2+5root3-2 should also be rational.[Rational-Rational=Rational]
So,
Let us now suppose that 5root3 is rational
Then,
5root3÷5 should also be rational.[Rational÷Rational=Rational]
So, root 3 is rational.
But it is given that root 3 is irrational.[If 3 is irrational, then root 3 should also be irrational.]
This is a contradiction created because of our assumption that 2+5root3 is rational.
So, we are forced to conclude that 2+5root3 is irrational.
