Your Answer is here:-

Let √3 + √5 be a rational number , say x

then √3 + √5 = x

On squaring both sides,

(√3 + √5)² = x²

3 + 2 √15 + 5 = x²

8 + 2 √15 = x²

2 √15 = x² - 8

√15 = (x² - 8) / 2

Now (x² - 8) / 2 is a rational number and √15 is an irrational number .

So, it is an irrational number.

Hope it helps you dear........xd
