If `sqrt(2)` = 1.4142, find the value of `(sqrt(2))/((2 + sqrt(2)))`


Options:
A .  0.3423
B .  0.4142
C .  0.3233
D .  0.4241
Answer: Option B

Sol. `(sqrt(2))/((2 + sqrt(2)))`

       = `(sqrt(2))/((2 + sqrt(2)))` x `((2 - sqrt(2)))/((2 - sqrt(2)))`

       = `(2sqrt(2) - 2)/(4 - 2) = (2(sqrt(2) - 1))/(2) `

        = `(sqrt(2) - 1) ` = ( 1.4142 - 1 ) =  0.4142.
