Question : The simplified value of $(\sqrt{3}+1)( 10+\sqrt{12})(\sqrt{12}-2)(5-\sqrt{3})$ is:

Option 1: 16

Option 2: 88

Option 3: 176

Option 4: 132

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 176


Solution : Given: $(\sqrt{3}+1)( 10+\sqrt{12})(\sqrt{12}-2)(5-\sqrt{3})$
⇒ $(\sqrt{3}+1)( 10+2\sqrt{3})(2\sqrt{3}-2)(5-\sqrt{3})$
⇒ $(\sqrt{3}+1)×2(5+\sqrt{3})×2(\sqrt{3}-1)×(5-\sqrt{3})$
⇒ $4(\sqrt{3}+1)(\sqrt{3}-1)(5+\sqrt{3})(5-\sqrt{3})$
We know that, $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$
Thus,
= $4(3-1)(25-3)$
= $4×2×22$
= $176$
Hence, the correct answer is 176.

Question : If $x^2-5 x+1=0$, then the value of $\left(x^4+\frac{1}{x^2}\right) \div\left(x^2+1\right)$ is:

Option 1: 21

Option 2: 22

Option 3: 25

Option 4: 24

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 22


Solution :  $x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0$
$⇒x(x - 5 + \frac{1}{x}) = 0$
$⇒(x - 5 + \frac{1}{x}) = 0$
$⇒(x + \frac{1}{x}) = 5$
Cubing both sides, we get,
$⇒(x + \frac{1}{x})^3 = 5^3$
$\because$ $(a + b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 +
