  • Question
  • If m = 7 - 4?3, then (?m + 1/?m) =?


  • Options
  • A. 8
  • B. 3
  • C. 4
  • D. 9

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    Given that ,
    m = 7 - 4?3
    Then I/m = 1/7 - 4?3......................(1)

    Now multiply and divide with 7 + 4?3 in Eq. (1)
    We will get,
    1/m = ( 1/7 - 4?3 ) x ( 7 + 4?3 / 7 + 4?3)
    ?1/m = ( 7 + 4?3 )/ ( 7 - 4?3 ) x ( 7 + 4?3
    ?1/m = ( 7 + 4?3 ) / ( 72 - ( 4?3)2 )
    ?1/m = ( 7 + 4?3 ) / ( 49 - 4 x 4 x 3 )
    ?1/m = ( 7 + 4?3 ) /49 - 48
    ?1/m = ( 7 + 4?3 ) / 1
    ?1/m = 7 + 4?3
    ? m + 1/m = 14
    ? ( m + 1/m ) + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16
    ? (?m + 1/?m)2 = ( m + 1/m )+ 2
    ? (?m + 1/?m)2 = 16
    ? (?m + 1/?m)2 = 42
    ? (?m + 1/?m) = 4
