Key concept: \((\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{y}) = \sqrt{xy}\)
\(\sqrt{24 + 5\sqrt{23}})(\sqrt{24 - 5 \sqrt{23}}\)
\([(24 + 5\sqrt{23})(24 - 5\sqrt{23})]^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
\([24^2 - (5\sqrt{23})^2]^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
\(\sqrt{576 - 575} = 1\)
Hence, option D

Hi guys , i simply squared both the terms to remove the root sign and then solved it .
Will that approach also work here?
At the end got 576 - 575
