Detailed Solution

Given,
The irrational number is 5+ 3  .
Let x   be a rational number, where,
x=5+ 3   3 =x5   As x   is rational number so x5   is also rational number.
Therefore 3   is rational number.
Which is a contradiction as 3   is  an irrational number.
So the assumption is wrong  as x  is an irrational number.
Thus, 5+ 3   must be an irrational number
Thus, the given statement is true.
Therefore, option(1)     is correct answer.
