Answer:
Let if possible 5-2√3 be rational. Then,
(5-2√3 is rational and 5 is rational )
{(5-2√3)-5} is rational (Difference of two rational number is always rational)
=2√3 is rational
Now,(2√3*1/2 ) is rational ( products of rational is rational)
= √3 is rational
Hence,it contradicts the fact that √3 is rational.
This contradiction arrises by assuming 5-2√3 are rational.
Thus,5-2√3 is irrational.
