Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 2 and 2.5 Concept used: a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b) Calculation: \(\frac{7+3√5}{3+√5}-\frac{7-3√5}{3-√{5}}\) ⇒ \( ((7+3√5)(3- √5)- (7-3√5)(3+ √5))/(3+ √5)(3- √5) \) ⇒ (21 + 9√5 - 7√5 - 15 - 21 + 9√5 - 7√5 + 15)/4 ⇒ 4√5/4 = √5 (∵ √5 = 2.236 approx) ⇒ 2.3 (approx) ∴ The value lies between 2 and 2.5. |
