    (√2−√3)2(√2-√3)^2 (√2−√3)2 is :
    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**.
