prove that √2 + √3 is irrational number :---
Let √2 + √3 = (a/b) is a rational no.
So,5 + 2√6 = (a2/b2) a rational no.
Since, 2√6 is an irrational no.

Let √2+√3 be a rational number a.
Therefore ,
a=√2+√3
a^2=(√2+√3)^2
a^2=5+2√6
a^2/2-5/2=√6---(1)
Since a,-5 and 2 are rational numbers.
So a^2/2-5/2 is also a rational number.
But √6 is an irrational number.
Therefore ,
(1)==>Rational number = irrational number
This is not possible.
So our assumption is false.
So √2+√3 is an irrational number.
