Question : If $x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{7+4 \sqrt{3}}}}$ where $x > 0$, then the value of $x$ is equal to:
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{7+4 \sqrt{3}}}}$ where $x > 0$. Use the algebraic identity, $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$. $⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{4+3+4 \sqrt{3}}}}$ $⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{(2+\sqrt{3}}})^2}$ $⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 (2+\sqrt{3}})}$ $⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+16+8\sqrt{3}}}$ $⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{(4+\sqrt{3}})^2}$ $⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+4+\sqrt{3}}$ $\therefore x=\sqrt4=2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : The area of a rhombus is 256 square cm, and one of its diagonals is twice the other in length. The length of its larger diagonal is:
Option 1: 32 cm
Option 2: 16 cm
Option 3: 48 cm
Option 4: 24 cm
Correct Answer: 32 cm
Solution : Let the first diagonal be $x$ and the second diagonal be $2x$. Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}\times$(Product of the diagonals) $256 = \frac{1}{2}\times x \times 2x$ ⇒ $256 = x^2$ ⇒ $x=16$ So, the length of the larger diagonal = 2 × 16 =
