Correct Answer: $15\sqrt5-30$
Solution :
Given: $\frac{15}{\sqrt{5}+2}$
Now rationalising with $\sqrt{5}-2$, we get,
$\frac{15}{\sqrt{5}+2}\times\frac{\sqrt{5}-2}{\sqrt{5}-2}$
$= \frac{15(\sqrt{5}-2)}{(\sqrt{5})^{2}-2^{2}}$
$= \frac{15(\sqrt{5}-2)}{5-4}$
$= \frac{15(\sqrt{5}-2)}{1}$
$= 15\sqrt{5}-30$
Hence, the correct answer is $15\sqrt{5}-30$.
