Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\pm \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)$


Solution : Given: $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$= \frac{1}{4}({4+2\sqrt{3}})$
$= \frac{1}{4}[1^2+(\sqrt{3})^2+2×1×\sqrt{3}]$
$= \frac{1}{4}(1+\sqrt{3})^2$
So, the square root of $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}(1+\sqrt{3})^2}$
$= \pm \frac{1}{2}(1+\sqrt{3})$
Hence, the correct answer is $\pm \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)$ .
