  • Question
  • If [? 3 + x + ? 3 - x] / [? 3 + x - ? 3 - x] = 2, then x is equal to


  • Options
  • A. 5/12
  • B. 12/5
  • C. 5/7
  • D. 7/5

  • Correct Answer
  • 12/5 

    Explanation

    [?3 + x + ?3 - x] / [?3 + x - ?3 - x] = 2

    Let ?3 + x = a and ?3 - x = b
    Then, (a + b) / (a - b) = 2/1
    ? a + b = 2a - 2b
    ? a = 3b

    ? ?3 + x = 3?3 - x

    On squaring bothv sides, we get
    (?3 + x)2 = (3?3 - x)2
    ? 3 + x = 9(3 - x)
    ? 3 + x = 27 - 9x
    ? 10x = 24
    ? x = 12/5
