D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Expression $ =2\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}+\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-2} $ $ =3\sqrt{2}+( \frac{1}{2+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{2}} ) $ $ =3\sqrt{2}+( \frac{2-\sqrt{2}+2+\sqrt{2}}{(2+\sqrt{2})(2-\sqrt{2})} ) $ $ =3\sqrt{2}+\frac{4}{2} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3\sqrt{2}+2=3\times 1.414+2=6.242 $
