Question : If $x=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}$ and $y=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}},$ then the value of $8xy(x^{2}+y^{2})$ is:

Option 1: 196

Option 2: 290

Option 3: 112

Option 4: 194

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 112


Solution : To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the values of $x$ and $y$.
$x=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}×\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{1}$
$y=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}×\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{1}$
Now, $x+y =4$............(I)
Also, $xy=(2-\sqrt{3})\times (2+\sqrt{3}) =1$.............(II)
Squaring both sides of equation (I)
⇒ $x^2+y^2+2xy=16$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+2\times1=16$
⇒ $x^2+y^2=14$
Putting the value of $x^2+y^2$ and $xy$ in $8xy(x^{2}+y^{2})$,
