If `sum_(k=4)^(143) (1)/(sqrt(k)+sqrt(k+1))=a-sqrt(b)` then a and b respectively areA. 10 and 0B. `-10 and 4`C. 10 and 4D. `-10 and 0`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(i) Substitute the values of k and rationalize every term of LHS.
(ii) `underset(k=4)overset(143)sum(1)/(sqrt(k)+sqrt(k+1))=(1)/(sqrt(5)+sqrt(4))+(1)/(sqrt(6)+sqrt(5))+...+(1)/(sqrt(144)+sqrt(143))`
(iii) Rationalize the denominator two times.
