Questions : If $√2$ = 1.4142… is given, then the value of $7/{(3 +√2)}$ correct upto two decimal places is

(a) 2.57

(b) 2.58

(c) 1.59

(d) 1.60

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (c)

$7/{(3 +√2)}={7(3-√2)}/{(3+√2)(3-√2)}$

[Rationalising the denominator]

=${7(3-√2)}/{9-2}$

$[(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2]$

=$3-√2$

= 3 - 1.4142 = 1.5858

= 1.59 (correct to two decimal places)

Question : 1

If $√5329$ = 73, then the value of $√5329 + √53.29 + √0.5329 + √0.005329 + √0.00005329$ is

a) 81.1013

b) 81.1103

c) 81.1003

d) 81.0113

Answer: (b)

$√5329 + √53.29 + √0.5329 + √0.005329 + √0.00005329$

$√5329$ = 73

= 73 + 7.3 + 0.73 + 0.073 + 0.0073

= 81.1103

Question : 2

If $√7$ = 2.646, then the value of $1/√28$ up to three places of decimal is :

a) 0.189

b) 0.187

c) 0.183

d) 0.185

Answer: (a)

$1/√28=1/{2√7}$

=$√7/{2√7×√7}=√7/14$

=$2.646/14=0.189$

Question : 3

If $√3$ =1.732, is given, then the value of ${2+ √3}/{2 -√3}$ is

a) 13.925

b) 12.928

c) 11.732

d) 13.928

Answer: (d)

Expression

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

[On rationalising the denominator]

=${(2+√3)^2}/{4-3}=(2+√3)^2$

=$2^2+(√3)^2+2×2×√3$

=$4+3+4√3$

= 7 + 4 × 1.732 = 7 + 6.928

= 13.928
