Solution
The number obtained on rationalising the denominator of `1/(sqrt(7) - 2)` is `underlinebb((sqrt(7) + 2)/3)`.
Explanation:
Rationalizing the denominator as follows:
`1/(sqrt(7) - 2) = 1/(sqrt(7) - 2) xx (sqrt(7) + 2)/(sqrt(7) + 2)`
= `(sqrt(7) + 2)/((sqrt(7))^2 - 2^2)`
= `(sqrt(7) + 2)/(7 - 4)`
= `(sqrt(7) + 2)/3`
