Correct Answer: – 4.845


Solution : Given:
$\sqrt{5} = 2.236$
$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} + \frac{5}{3\sqrt{5}} - \sqrt{45}$
Now evaluate the equation,
= $ \frac{\sqrt{5}\times3\sqrt{5} + 5\times2-3\sqrt{5}\times2\times3\sqrt{5}}{2\times3\sqrt{5}}$
= $ \frac{15 + 10 - 90}{2\times3\sqrt{5}}$
= $ -\frac{65}{2\times3\sqrt{5}}$
Rationalising the fraction
= $ -\frac{65\sqrt{5}}{30}$
Put the value of $\sqrt{5} = 2.236$
= $-\frac{65\times 2.236}{30} = -4.845$
Hence, the correct answer is – 4.845.
