Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given:
$x+ \sqrt{5} = 5+\sqrt{y}$
By comparing rational and irrational numbers, we get
⇒ $x = 5$ and $\sqrt{y} = \sqrt{5}$ ⇒ $y = 5$
By putting the values of $x$ and $y$ in the given expression,
$ \frac{\sqrt{x}+y}{x+ \sqrt{y}}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{5}+5}{5+ \sqrt{5}}$
$= 1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
