Answer:
let us assume that root 5 - root 3 is a rational number .
Therefore ,
root 5 - root 3 = p/ q where p amd q are integers and q is not equal to 0.
Root 5 - root 3 = a / b where a and b are co-primes.
therefore ;
root 5 = a / b + root3
but as we know that root 5 is irrational .
It contradicts the fact that root 5 is rational .
This is because of our wrong assumption that root 5 - root 3 is a rational number .
