Question
The value of $\sqrt{5+2\sqrt6},$ is:

Answer

  1. $\sqrt3+\sqrt2$
    Solution:
    $\sqrt{5+2\sqrt6}$
    $=\sqrt{3+2+2\big(\sqrt3\big)\big(\sqrt2\big)}$
    $=\sqrt{\big(\sqrt3\big)^2+\big(\sqrt2\big)^2-2\big(\sqrt3\big)\big(\sqrt2\big)}$
    $=\sqrt{\big(\sqrt2+\sqrt2\big)^2}$
    $=\sqrt3+\sqrt2$
    Hence, correct option is (b).
