Answer:

The correct option is 2 and the solutions of given equation are irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

\(3x^2-x-5=0\)

If an equation is defined as

\(ax^2+bx+c=0\)

Then the quadratic formula is

\(x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\)

The value of discriminant for the given equation is

\(x=\frac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(3)(-5)}}{2(3)}\)

\(x=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{61}}{6}\)

Since \(\sqrt{61}\) is an irrational number, therefore the addition and division with an irrational number is irrational.

So, both the solutions of given equation are irrational and option 2 is correct.

B: 2 irrational solutions
