    Question

    A.

    361363\frac{361}{363}​​

    B.

    341333\frac{341}{333}​​

    C.

    384387\frac{384}{387}​​

    D.

    321323\frac{321}{323}​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    x=545+4,y=5+454x = \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{4}}, \quad y = \frac{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}}​​

    We are required to find the value of: x2xy+y2x2+xy+y2\frac{x^2 - xy + y^2}{x^2 + xy + y^2}​​

    Concept Used:

    First, note that x × y = 1 

    a+1a=k a2+1a2=k22a + \frac{1}{a} = k \\\ \\a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2} = k^2 - 2​​​

    Substitute xy = 1 in the above expression.

    Solution:

    Given

    x × y = 1  

    y=1xy = \frac{1}{x} 

    x=545+4,x = \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{4}}, 

    x=545+4×5454, x=(54)2(5)2(4)2 x=5+4220 x=945x = \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{4}}\times\frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}}, \\\ \\ x = \frac{(\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4})^2}{(\sqrt{5})^2 - (\sqrt{4})^2}\\\ \\x = 5 + 4 - 2\sqrt{20} \\\ \\x = 9 - 4\sqrt{5}

    1x=1945×9+459+45 1x=9+458180 1x=9+45\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{ 9 - 4\sqrt5} \times \frac{9 + 4\sqrt5}{ 9 + 4\sqrt5} \\\ \\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{9 +4\sqrt5}{81 - 80} \\\ \\\frac{1}{x} = 9 + 4\sqrt{5}​   

    Then the value of x+1x=945+9+45x + \frac{1}{x} = 9 - 4\sqrt{5} + 9 + 4\sqrt{5} 

    x+1x=18x +\frac{1}{x} = 18  

    x2+1x2=1822 x2+1x2=3242 x2+1x2=322x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2 } = {18}^2 - 2 \\\ \\x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2 } = 324 - 2 \\\ \\x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2 } = 322

    =x2+1x21x2+1x2+1= \frac{x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} - 1}{x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 1}  

    3221322+1\frac{322 - 1}{322 +1}  

    321323\frac{321}{323}​​
