Your Ans is:—
Let √2 + √3 be a rational number.
Then, there exists co-prime positive integers p and q such that
=> √2 + √3 = p/q
=> √2 = p/q – √3
Squaring both sides
=> 2 = p²/q² – 2×p/q×√3 + 3
=> p²/q² + 1 = 2×√3×p/q
=> p² + q²/ 2pq = √3
Since p,q and 2 are integers so √3 is rational
But this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational
THEREFORE
√2 + √3 is irrational
