(x + 1)/(x - 1) - (x - 1)/(x + 1) = {(x + 1)2 - (x - 1)2} / {(x - 1) (x + 1)}
= (x2 + 1 + 2x) - (x2 + 1 - 2x) / (x2 - 1)
= 4x / (x2 - 1) = 4(√3 + √2) / {(√3 + √2)2 - 1}Correct Option: B
(x + 1)/(x - 1) - (x - 1)/(x + 1) = {(x + 1)2 - (x - 1)2} / {(x - 1) (x + 1)}
= (x2 + 1 + 2x) - (x2 + 1 - 2x) / (x2 - 1)
= 4x / (x2 - 1) = 4(√3 + √2) / {(√3 + √2)2 - 1}
= 4(√3 + √2) / (3 + 2 + 2√6 - 1) = 4(√3 + √2) / (4 + 2 √6)
= 4(√3 + √2) / 2 √2 (√3 + √2)
= √2

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
∛8 and ∛1000 = 81/3 and 10001/3
Correct Option: B
∛8 and ∛1000 = 81/3 and 10001/3
Since 1000 > 8
∴ ∛1000 > ∛8
- Which among √81 and √1 is smaller ?

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
√81 and √1 = 811/2 and 11/2
Correct Option: B
√81 and √1 = 811/2 and 11/2
Since, 1 < 81
∴ √1 < √81
- IF (14)3 is added to the square of a number, the answer to obtained is 4425. What is the number ?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Let the number be x.
According to the question,
x2 + (14)3 = 4425Correct Option: C
Let the number be x.
According to the question,
x2 + (14)3 = 4425
⇒ x2 = 4425 - (14)3
⇒ x2 = 4425 - 2744
⇒ x2 = 1681
∴ x = √1681 = 41
- Which among ∜10 and ∛8 is greater ?

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
∜10 and ∛8 = 101/4 and 81/3
Since, LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
∴ 101/4 = 103/12 = (103)1/12 = (1000)1/12 = 12√1000
and 81/3 = 84/12 = (84)1/12 (4096)1/2 = 12√4096
∴ 4096 > 1000Correct Option: B
∜10 and ∛8 = 101/4 and 81/3
Since, LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
∴ 101/4 = 103/12 = (103)1/12 = (1000)1/12 = 12√1000
and 81/3 = 84/12 = (84)1/12 (4096)1/2 = 12√4096
∴ 4096 > 1000
Hence, 81/3 >101/4
∴ ∛8 > ∜10
