If `(3+asqrt2)^100+(3+bsqrt2)^100=7+5sqrt2` number of pairs (a, b) for which the equation is true is, (a, b are rational numbers)A. 1B. 6C. 0D. infinite

Answer» Correct Answer - C
We have,
`(3 + asqrt(2))^(100) + (3 + bsqrt(2))^(100) = 7 + 5 sqrt(2)`
`rArr (3 - a sqrt(2))^(100)+ (3 - b sqrt(2))^(100) = 7 - 5 sqrt(2)`
We observe that LHS `gt` 0 for all pairs (a, b). So, the above
equality is not ture for any pair (a, b) of ratinoal number.
