MCQ
The value of $\sqrt{5+2\sqrt6},$ is:
  • A
    $\sqrt3-\sqrt2$
  • $\sqrt3+\sqrt2$
  • C
    $\sqrt5+\sqrt6$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\sqrt3+\sqrt2$

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