Answer:
Let √2-3√5 is a rational number
A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p,q are integers.
√2-3√5=p/q
Squaring on both sides,
(√2-3√5)²=(p/q)²
[√2²+(3√5)²-2(√2)(3√5)]=p²/q²
[2+9(5)-6√10]=p²/q²
[2+45-6√10]=p²/q²
6√10=p²/q²-47
6√10=(p²-47q²)/q²
√10=(p²-47q²)6q²
p,q are integers then (p²-47q²)/6q² is a rational number.
Then,√10 is also a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that √10 is a rational number.
So,our supposition is false.
Hence,√2-3√5 is irrational number.
