Answer:

b)
6√(2) irrational

Explanation:

We are given two irrational numbers
√(50) and
√(2) and asked to find their sum and determine whether the result is rational or irrational.

Let us first simplify the first irrational number
√(50)


√(50) = √(25 * 2)= √(25) * √(2)=5√(2)

Therefore


√(50) = 5√(2)

Now


5√(2)+√(2)= √(2)(5+1)


=6√(2)

Which is again an irrational number.

Hence our option B is correct
