  • Question
  • If x + a/x = b , then the value of ( x2 + bx + a) / ( bx2 - x3 ) is?


  • Options
  • A. a + b
  • B. 2b/a
  • C. b/a
  • D. ab

  • Correct Answer
  • 2b/a 

    Explanation

    Given in question,
    x + a/x = b
    ? ( x2 + a )/x = b
    ? x2 + a = bx .........................(i)
    ? bx - x2 = a .........................(ii)
    Now Given in question,
    ( x2 + bx + a ) / ( bx2 - x3 )
    ? ( x2 + a + bx ) / ( bx2 - x3 )
    Put the value of x2 + a from equation (i) in above equation,
    ? ( bx + bx )/(bx2 - x3)
    = (2bx)/( bx2 - x3 )
    = (2bx)/x( bx - x2 )
    = 2b/(bx - x2)
    Put the value of bx - x2 from equation (ii) in above equation, we will get
    = 2b/a
