The simplified values of both columns indicate that Statement # is true.

The simplified value of Column A is 3.5, which is rational (can be expressed as a fraction).
The simplified value of Column B is V3 + }, which is an irrational sum because it includes a square root and a non-repeating decimal.

Therefore, only Statement #1 is true: Only Column A has a rational sum.
