Answer:
Let us assume that the given number 3+✓5 is a rational number.
Hence, 3+✓5 = p/q, where p and q are co primes.
Now, shifting 3 to the other side.
✓5 = p/q - 3
By LCM,
✓5 = (p-3q)/q
Now, we observed that the right hand side is a proper rational number where as the left hand side is an irrational number.
Hence, our assumption is contradicted and we come to a result : 3+✓5 is an irrational number.
