Given that $$\sqrt 5 $$ = 2.236 and $$\sqrt 3 $$ = 1.732, then the value of $$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3 }}{\text{ is = ?}}$$

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3 }} \times \frac{{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt 3 }} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt 5 - \sqrt 3 }}{{5 - 3}} \cr & = \frac{{2.236 - 1.732}}{2} \cr & = \frac{{0.504}}{2} \cr & = 0.252 \cr} $$
