Which among the following is greatest `sqrt7 + sqrt3, sqrt5 + sqrt5, sqrt6 +2 ?`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `x = sqrt7+sqrt3`
Let `y = sqrt5+sqrt5`
Let `z = sqrt6 +2 = sqrt6 + sqrt4`
Now, `x^2 = (sqrt7+sqrt3)^2 = 7+3+2sqrt21 = 10+2sqrt21`
`y^2 = (sqrt5+sqrt5)^2 = 5+5+2sqrt25 = 10+2sqrt25`
`z^2 = (sqrt6+sqrt4)^2 = 6+4+2sqrt24 = 10+2sqrt24`
So, `y^2` is the largest. Thus, `y` is the largest.
So, largest of the given number is `sqrt5+sqrt5`.
