X2 = (5 – 2√6)2 = 25 +24 -20√6) = 49 – 20√6


Similarily y = = 5 + 2√6


Y2 = (5 + 2√6 )2 = 49 + 20√6


Xy = (5- 2√6) ( 5 + 2√6) = 25 – 24 = 1


So, x2+ xy+y2 = 49 – 20√6 +1 + 49 + 20√6 = 99.

A. 2

B. 2

C. 24

D. 20


Answer:

Given x= √6 + √5


X2 = 11 + 2√11


1/x2 = 11- 2√11


So, x2 + 1/x2 – 2 = 11+ 2√11 + 11 – 2√11 -2 = 22-2 = 20.


Question 35.

If , then a =
A. -5

B. -6

C. -4

D. -2


Answer:

√(13-a√10) =√8 +√5


Squaring both side,..


= 13 – a√10 = 8 + 5 + 2×√8×√5


= 13 – a√10 = 13 + 2√40


= - a√10 = 4√10


= a = -4


Question 36.

A. x = 13, y = -7

B. x = -13, y = 7

C. x = -13, y = -7

D. x = 13, y = 7


Answer:

5 - √3/ 2+√3 = x + y√3


= ( 5-√3) / (2+ √3) × (2 -√3) / (2 -√3)


= (10 – 5√3 – 2√3 +3)/ (4-3)


= 10 – 7√3 +3


= 13 – 7√3 = x + y√3


So , x= 13 , y = -7
