Hi

Option E is correct:

1) (\sqrt{82} + \sqrt{82})^2 = (2*\sqrt{82)^2= 4*82= Integer
2) 82*[square_root]82}= not an integer
3) (\sqrt{82} * \sqrt{82})/82
= 82/82=1= Integer

2. 82*\sqrt{82} --> since \sqrt{82} is not an integer then 82*\sqrt{82} is not integer either.

3. \frac{\sqrt{82}*\sqrt{82}}{82}=\frac{82}{82}=1=integer.

Answer: E.
