Let a = sqrt(6) – sqrt(5), b = sqrt(5) – 2, c = 2 – sqrt(3).
Then point out the correct alternative among the four alternatives given below:
(a) a < b < c (b) b < a < c (c) a < c < b (d) b < c < a

Given the values for \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) as:
– \(a = \sqrt{6} – \sqrt{5}\)
– \(b = \sqrt{5} – 2\)
– \(c = 2 – \sqrt{3}\)
And using the approximate square root values:
– \(\sqrt{6} \approx 2.45\)
– \(\sqrt{5} \approx 2.24\)
– \(\sqrt{3} \approx 1.73\)
We can approximate the values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) as:
– \(a \approx 2.45 – 2.24 = 0.21\)
– \(b \approx 2.24 – 2 = 0.24\)
– \(c \approx 2 – 1.73 = 0.27\)
Thus, we have the order:
\[
a < b < c
\]
Therefore, the correct alternative among the given options is:
(a) \(a < b < c\)
