Question 3.
Classify the given pair of surds into like surds and unlike surds. [2 Marks each]
Solution:
If the order of the surds and the radicands are same, then the surds are like surds.

Here, the order of 2
∴

Here, the order of 2
∴

Here, the order of 12
∴ 4

Here, the order of 38
∴ 19
v. 5
Here, the order of 5
∴ 5

Here, the order of 5√5 and 5√3 is same but their radicands are not.
∴ 5√5 and √75 are unlike surds.
