Question

(23)2(√2-√3)^2  is :

A.

a whole number

B.

a rational number

C.

an irrational number

D.

a natural number

Correct option is C

​​​

Given:

Expression:
(23)2(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})^2​​

Solution:

We use the identity (ab)2=a22ab+b2 (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2​​

(23)2=(2)2223+(3)2 226+3=526(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 - 2 \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{3} + (\sqrt{3})^2\\\ 2 - 2\sqrt{6} + 3\\= 5 - 2\sqrt{6}​​

Since 5265 - 2\sqrt{6}​ includes the irrational term 6,\sqrt{6},​ it is an irrational number.

Thus, the correct answer is **Option C: An irrational number**.
