Answer:
Let root 3 + roof 5 be rational
root 3 + root 5 = P/q
(root 3 + root 5) sq=(P/q)sq
3 +5 + 2 root 15 = P sq/q Sq
root I5 = (Psq / qsq -7) 1/2
RHS is rational as all are integers
⇒ LHS is also rational but root 15 is irrational
⇒ root3 + root 5 is irrational

Answer:
Let √3 + √5 be a rational number , say r
then √3 + √5 = r
On squaring both sides,
(√3 + √5)2 = r2
3 + 2 √15 + 5 = r2
8 + 2 √15 = r2
2 √15 = r2 - 8
√15 = (r2 - 8) / 2
Now (r2 - 8) / 2 is a rational number and √15 is an irrational number .
Since a rational number cannot be equal to an irrational number . Our assumption that √3 + √5 is rational wrong .
