Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
\((\sqrt{3} - 5\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}) = 3 + \sqrt{6} - 5\sqrt{6} - 10\)
= \(-7 - 4\sqrt{6} = p + q\sqrt{6}\)
\(\therefore q = -4\)
\((\sqrt{3} - 5\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}) = 3 + \sqrt{6} - 5\sqrt{6} - 10\)
= \(-7 - 4\sqrt{6} = p + q\sqrt{6}\)
\(\therefore q = -4\)
