In the binomial expansion of ( cube root of 3 + square root of 2) whole root of 5 find the term which does not contain irrational expression?

If the given expression is 33+25
general term in the expansion is Tr+1=Cr5.335-r.2r
total number of terms = 5+1=6
Tr+1=Cr5.35-r3.2r/2
if the term does not contain irrational terms r/2 must be integer.
r = 0, 2, 4 
and 5-r3 must be integer
therefore
only for r =2; (5-2)/3 = 3/3 is integer.
thus only one term does not contain irrational expression.
the term which does not contain irrational expression
=C25.35-23.22/2=5*42*3*2=60

hope this helps you
