Correct Answer: $\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3 > \sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2$
Solution :
Squaring both terms
$\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3$, $\sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2$
So, $(\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3)^2 = 5 + 3 + 2\sqrt 15 = 8 + 2\sqrt 15$
Also, $(\sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2)^2 = 6 + 2 + 2\sqrt 12 = 8 + 2\sqrt 12$
Clearly, $\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3 > \sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3 > \sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2$.
