Correct Answer: 1, 2


Solution : $a\sqrt{2}+b\sqrt{3} = \sqrt{98}+\sqrt{108}-\sqrt{48}-\sqrt{72}$
$=\sqrt{2\times49}+\sqrt{36\times3}-\sqrt{16\times3}-\sqrt{36\times2}$
$= 7\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{3}-6\sqrt{2}$
⇒ $a\sqrt{2}+b\sqrt{3} = \sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{3}$
⇒ $a=1$ and $b=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 1, 2.
