Correct Answer: $a<b<c$
Solution : Given: $a=\sqrt{6}–\sqrt{5}$, $b=\sqrt{5}–2$, $c=2–\sqrt{3}$ Rationalising the given values, $a=\sqrt{6}–\sqrt{5}×\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{5}}$ ⇒ $a=\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{5}}$ -----(1) $b=\sqrt{5}–2×\frac{\sqrt{5}+2}{\sqrt{5}+2}$ ⇒ $b=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+2}$ ⇒ $b=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{4}}$------(2) $c=2–\sqrt{3}×\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $c=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{3}}$------(3) By comparing $(a,b,c)$ we can find $a<b<c$. Hence, the correct answer is $a<b<c$.
