Question : 1
The value of $√{72+√{72+√{72 +...}}}$ is
a) 18
b) 8
c) 12
d) 9
Answer »Answer: (d)
x = $√{72+√{72+√{72 +...}}}$
On squaring both sides,
$x^2 = 72+√{72+√{72+√{72 +...}}}$
$x^2$ = 72 + x
$x^2$ - x - 72 = 0
$x^2$ - 9x + 8x - 72 = 0
x (x - 9) + 8 (x - 9) = 0
(x + 8) (x - 9) = 0
x = 9 because x ≠ - 8
Using Rule 25
$√{72+√{72+√{72 +...}}}$ = 9
It is because 72 = 8×9 = n (n + 1)
Question : 2 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2015]
If m = $√{5+√{5+√{5 +...}}}$ and n = $√{5-√{5-√{5-...}}}$, then among the following the relation between m and n holds is
a) m + n + 1 = 0
b) m + n - 1 = 0
c) m - n - 1 = 0
d) m - n + 1 = 0
Answer »Answer: (c)
m = $√{5+√{5+√{5 +...}}}$
On squaring both sides,
$m^2 = 5 + m ⇒ m^2$ - m = 5 ....(i)
Again,
n = $√{5-√{5-√{5-...}}}$
On squaring both sides,
$n^2$ = 5 - n
$n^2$ + n = 5 .........(ii)
$m^2$ - m = $n^2$ + n
$(m^2 - n^2)$ = m + n
(m + n) (m - n) - (m + n) = 0
(m + n) (m - n - 1) = 0
Question : 3 [SSC CHSL 2010]
$√{3√{3√{3...}}}$ is equal to
a) $2√3$
b) 3
c) $3√3$
d) $√3$
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let x = $√{3√{3√{3...}}}$
Squaring both sides,
$x^2 = 3√{3√{3√{3...}}}$ = 3x
$x^2$ - 3x = 0
x (x - 3) = 0
x = 3 because x ≠ 0
Using Rule 23$√{x√{x√{x...n times}}}= x^(1-1/{x^n})$
$√{3+√{3+√{3+...∞}}}$ = 3
It is because, here
n = ∞ and x =3
$√{3+√{3+√{3+...∞}}}=3^(1-1/{3∞})$
= $3^(1 - 0)$ [${something}/∞ = 0$] = 3
Question : 4 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2016]
Find the value of $√{10+√{ 25+√{ 108+√{ 154+√{ 225}}}}}$.
a) 8
b) 10
c) 4
d) 6
Answer »Answer: (c)
Expression
=$√{10+√{ 25+√{ 108+√{ 154+√{ 225}}}}}$
=$√{10+√{ 25+√{ 108+√{ 154+15}}}}$
=$√{10+√{ 25+√{ 108+√{169}}}}$
=$√{10+√{ 25+√{ 108+13}}}$
=$√{10+√{ 25+√{121}}}$
=$√{10+√{ 25+11}}$
=$√{10+6}=√16=4$
Question : 5 [SSC CGL Prelim 2000]
$√{6+√{6+√{6 +...}}}$ is equal to
a) 5
b) 4
c) 6
d) 3
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let x = $√{6+√{6+√{6 +...}}}$
Squaring on both sides,
$x^2 = 6+√{6+√{6+√{6 +...}}}$
$x^2$ = 6 + x
$x^2$ - x - 6 = 0
$x^2$ - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0
x (x - 3) + 2 (x - 3) = 0
(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0
x = 3 because x ≠ - 2
$√{6+√{6+√{6 +...}}}$ = 3
It is because
6 = 2 × 3 = n (n + 1)
