Solution : Given: $\frac{\sqrt{26-7 \sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{14+5 \sqrt{3}}}$ $= \frac{\sqrt{26-7 \sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{14+5 \sqrt{3}}} \times \frac{\sqrt{14-5 \sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{14-5 \sqrt{3}}} $ $= \frac{\sqrt{364-130\sqrt{3}+105-98\sqrt3}}{\sqrt{196-75}} $ $= \frac{\sqrt{361-228\sqrt{3}+108}}{\sqrt{196-75}} $ $= \frac{\sqrt{19^2+(6\sqrt3)^2-2\times19\times6\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{121}} $ $= \frac{\sqrt{(19-6\sqrt3)^2}}{11} $ $= \frac{(19-6\sqrt3)}{11} $ $\therefore \frac{(19-6\sqrt3)}{11}=\frac{b+a \sqrt{3}}{11} $ $b=19, a=-6$ Thus, $\sqrt{(b-a)}=\sqrt{(19-(-6))}=\sqrt{25}=5$ Hence, the correct answer is 5.
