Question 731. $$\sqrt {2 + \sqrt {2 + \sqrt {2 + ......} } } $$      is equal to ?
  1.    $$\sqrt 2 $$
  2.    $${\text{2}}\sqrt 2 $$

Answer: Option C. -> 2
$$\eqalign{
& x = \sqrt {2 + \sqrt {2 + \sqrt {2 + ......} } } \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^2} = 2 + \sqrt {2 + \sqrt {2 + .......} } \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^2} = 2 + x \cr
& \Rightarrow {x^2} - x - 2 = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow x\left( {x - 2} \right) + 1\left( {x - 2} \right) = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {x + 1} \right)\left( {x - 2} \right) = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 2 \cr} $$

  1.    0
  2.    0.01
  3.    -1
  4.    0.001
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{2 + }}\sqrt {0.09} - \root 3 \of {0.008} - 75\% \,{\text{of }}2.80 \cr
& = 2 + 0.3 - 0.2 - \left( {\frac{3}{4} \times 2.8} \right) \cr
& = 2 + 0.3 - 0.2 - 2.10 \cr
& = 2.3 - 2.3 \cr
& = 0 \cr} $$

$$\eqalign{
& {\left( {3 + 2\sqrt 2 } \right)^{ - 3}} + {\left( {3 - 2\sqrt 2 } \right)^{ - 3}} \cr
& = {\left( {\frac{1}{{3 + 2\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^3} + {\left( {\frac{1}{{3 - 2\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^3} \cr} $$

& a = 3 - 2\sqrt 2 \cr
& b = 3 + 2\sqrt 2 \cr
& \left[ {\because {a^3} + {b^3} = \left( {a + b} \right)\left( {{a^2} + {b^2} - ab} \right)} \right] \cr
& = \left( {3 - 2\sqrt 2 + 3 + 2\sqrt 2 } \right)\left( {17 + 17 - 1} \right) \cr
& = \left( 6 \right)\left( {33} \right) \cr

Question 734. (3x - 2y) : (2x + 3y) = 5 : 6, then one of the value of $${\left( {\frac{{\root 3 \of x + \root 3 \of y }}{{\root 3 \of x - \root 3 \of y }}} \right)^2}{\text{ is = ?}}$$
  1.    $$\frac{1}{{25}}$$
  2.    5
  3.    $$\frac{1}{5}$$
  4.    25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 25
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{\left( {3x - 2y} \right)}}{{\left( {3x + 2y} \right)}} = \frac{5}{6} \cr
& \Rightarrow 18x - 12y = 10x + 15y \cr
& \Rightarrow 8x = 27y \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{x}{y} = \frac{{27}}{8} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{{\root 3 \of x + \root 3 \of y }}{{\root 3 \of x - \root 3 \of y }}} \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{{\root 3 \of {27} + \root 3 \of 8 }}{{\root 3 \of {27} - \root 3 \of 8 }}} \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{{3 + 2}}{{3 - 2}}} \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( 5 \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow 25 \cr} $$
Question 735. 21? × 216.5 = 2112.4
  1.    18.9
  2.    4.4
  3.    5.9
  4.    13.4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5.9
$$\eqalign{
& {21^?} \times {21^{6.5}} = {21^{12.4}}.....\left[ {\because {a^m} \times {a^n} = {a^{m + n}}} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow {21^{? + 6.5}} = {21^{12.4}} \cr
& \Rightarrow ? + 6.5 = 12.4 \cr
& \Rightarrow ? = 12.4 - 6.5 \cr
& \Rightarrow ? = 5.9 \cr} $$

Answer: Option C. -> 1
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{{1 + \sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 }} + \frac{1}{{1 - \sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 }} \cr
& = \frac{1}{{1 + \sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 }} + \frac{1}{{1 + \sqrt 3 - \sqrt 2 }} \cr

$$\eqalign{
& {\left( {\sqrt x - \frac{1}{{\sqrt x }}} \right)^2} \cr
& = x + \frac{1}{x} - 2 \cr
& = \left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right) + \frac{1}{{\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)}} - 2 \cr
& = \left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right) + \frac{1}{{\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)}} \times \frac{{\left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)}}{{\left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)}} - 2 \cr
& = \left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right) + \left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right) - 2 \cr
& = 10 - 2 \cr
& = 8 \cr
& \therefore \left( {\sqrt x - \frac{1}{{\sqrt x }}} \right) = \sqrt 8 = 2\sqrt 2 \cr} $$
