Question: The value of $ \frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}} $ $ +\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{5}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}} $ $ +\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}+7}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{8}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}} $ is
Options:
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 4
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- [c] $ \frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{5}} $
$ +\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{7}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{8}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}} $
$ =\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}-1}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}} $
$ \times \frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{3}} $
$ +….+\frac{1}{\sqrt{9}+\sqrt{8}}\times \frac{\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{8}} $
$ =\sqrt{2}-1+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{4} $
$ +….+\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{8} $
$ =\sqrt{9}-1=3-1=2 $
