Questions : When $(4 + √7)$ is presented in the form of perfect square it will be equal to

(a) $(1/√2(√7 + 1))^2$

(b) $(2 + √7)^2$

(c) $(√3 + √4)^2$

(d) $(√7/2 + 1/2)^2$

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

$(4 + √7) = {8+2√7}/2$

= ${7+1+2×√7×1}/2$

= ${(√7)^2 + (1)^2 + 2 ×√7 × 1}/2$

= ${(√7+1)^2}/(√2)^2 = (1/{√2}(√7+1))^2$

Question : 1

The approximate value of ${3√{12}}/{2√{28}}$ ÷ ${2√{21}}/√{98}$ is

a) 1.6026

b) 1.0727

c) 1.6007

d) 1.0606

Answer: (d)

${3√{12}}/{2√{28}}$ ÷ ${2√{21}}/√{98}$

Expression

= ${3×√{12}}/{2×√{28}}$ × $√{98}/{2×√{21}}$

= ${3 × 2 ×√3}/{2 × 2× √7}$×${7×√2}/{2×√3×√7}$

= ${3√2}/4 = {3 × 1.414}/4$

= 1.0605 ≈1.0606

Question : 2

$2√^3{32} - 3√^3{4} + √^3{500}$ is equal to :

a) $6√^3{4}$

b) $4√^3{6}$

c) 916

d) $3√{24}$

Answer: (a)

$2√^3{32} - 3√^3{4} + √^3{500}$

Expression

= $2√^3{8 × 4} - 3√^3{4} + √^3{125 × 4}$

= $2×2√^3{4} - 3√^3{4} + 5√^3{4} = 6√^3{4}$

Question : 3

$(√8 - √4 - √2)$ equals :

a) 2

b) 2 - $√2$

c) - 2

d) $√2$ - 2

Answer: (d)

? = $(√8 - √4 - √2)$

= $(2√2 - 2 - √2) = √2 - 2$

Question : 4

$(16)^{0.16} × (16)^{0.04} × (2)^{0.2}$ is equal to :

a) 4

b) 1

c) 16

d) 2

Answer: (d)

$(16)^{0.16} × (16)^{0.04} × (2)^{0.2}$

= $(2^4)^{0.16} × (2^4)^{0.04} × (2)^{0.2}$

= $2^{0.64} × 2^{0.16} × 2^{0.2}$

= $(2)^{0.64+0.16+0.2}$ = 2

Question : 5

$12/{3 + √5 + 2√2}$ is equal to

a) $1 + √5 - √2 + √10$

b) $1 - √5 + √2 + √10$

c) $1 - √5 - √2 + √10$

d) $1 + √5 + √2 - √10$

Answer: (d)

Expression

= $12/{3 + √5 + 2√2}$

= ${12(3+√5-2√2)}/{[(3+√5)+2√2][(3+√5)-2√2]}$

[Rationalising the denominator]

= ${12(3+√5-2√2)}/{(3+√5)^2- (2√2)^2}$

= ${12(3+√5-2√2)}/{9+5+6√5-8}$

= ${12(3√5-2√2)}/{6√5+6}$

= ${2(3+√5-2√2)}/{√5+1}$

= ${2(3+√5-2√2)(√5-1)}/{(√5+1)(√5-1)}$

= ${2(3√5+5-2√{10}-3-√5+2√2)}/{5-1}$

= ${2(2√5+2√2-2√{10}+2)}/4$

= ${2×2(√5+√2-√{10}+1)}/4$

= $1+√5+√2-√{10}$

Question : 6

The value of $1/{√{3.25} + √{2.25}} + 1/{√{4.25} + √{3.25}} + 1/{√{5.25} + √{4.25}} + 1/{√{6.25} + √{5.25}}$ is

a) 1.50

b) 1.00

c) 2.25

d) 1.25

Answer: (b)

$1/{√{3.25} + √{2.25}} + 1/{√{4.25} + √{3.25}} + 1/{√{5.25} + √{4.25}} + 1/{√{6.25} + √{5.25}}$

$1/{√{3.25} + √{2.25}}$

= $1/(√{3.25} + √{2.25})×{{√{3.25} - √{2.25}}/{√{3.25} - √{2.25}}}$

= ${√{3.25} - √{2.25}}/{3.25 - 2.25} = √{3.25} - √{2.25}$

Similarly

$1/{√{4.25} + √{3.25}}= √{4.25} - √{3.25}$

$1/{√{5.25} + √{4.25}}= √{5.25} - √{4.25}$

$1/{√{6.25} + √{5.25}}= √{6.25} - √{5.25}$

Expression

=$√{3.25} - √{2.25} +√{4.25} - √{3.25} +√{5.25} - √{4.25} +√{6.25} - √{5.25}$

= $√{6.25} - √{2.25}$

= 2.5 - 1.5 =1
