Solution:-
Let ( √3 + √5)² be Rational Number.
=) ( √3 + √5)² can be written in the form of p/q , where p and Q are some integers and Q is not equal to 0.
=) (√3 + √5)² = p/q
=) 3 + 5 + 2√15 = p/q
=) 2√15 = p/q - 8
=) √15 = (p/q -8)/2
Suppose,
(p/q -8)/2 is an Rational Number.
But √15 is an Irrational Number.
Thus, It Contradicts our supposition that ( √3 + √5)² is a Rational Number.
Hence,
( √3 + √5)² is a Rational Number.
