Which option is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: √4 + √9 = 5

The governing concept is evaluation of principal square roots before carrying out addition. Since 4 = 2², √4 = 2, and since 9 = 3², √9 = 3. Therefore, √4 + √9 = 2 + 3 = 5, so option B is correct. A common error is to combine the radicands and write √(4 + 9) = √13; however, the identity √a + √b = √(a+b) is not generally valid. Thus option A applies an incorrect rule. Option C adds 4 and 9 but does not take their roots, so it does not represent the given expression. Option D has no valid calculation supporting it. The answer is especially clear because both radicands are perfect squares and their roots are whole numbers.
