Which of the following numbers is definitely irrational?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}\)

\(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}\) is irrational. If it were equal to a rational number \(r\), then on squaring we would get \(r^2=5+2\sqrt{6}\). This would make \(\sqrt{6}\) rational, which is impossible; hence the sum is irrational. In option B, \(\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{16}=4\), so it is rational. Exam tip: To test a sum of square roots, assume it is rational and square both sides.
