    Question

    If (3+13+13+3+133)÷(3+6)=a+b6\left( 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} - 3} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6}) = a + b\sqrt{6} then what is the value of 3a-2b?

    A.

    11

    B.

    3

    C.

    5

    D.

    4

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    (3+13+13+3+133)÷(3+6)=a+b6\left( 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} - 3} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6}) = a + b\sqrt{6} 

    Solution:   

    (3+13+13+3+133)÷(3+6) =(3+13+13+3+1(3+3))÷(3+6) =(3+13+13+31(33))÷(3+6) =(3+13+(33)(3+3)(3+3)(33))÷(3+6) =(3+13+(23)(93))÷(3+6) =(3+33(3)(3))÷(3+6) =33+6 =36\left( 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} - 3} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6}) \\ \ \\ = \left( 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{-(-\sqrt{3} + 3)} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6}) \\ \ \\ = \left( 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{3}} - \frac{1}{(3-\sqrt{3} )} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6})\\ \ \\ = \left( 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{(3-\sqrt{3})-(3+\sqrt{3})}{(3+\sqrt{3})(3-\sqrt{3} )} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6})\\ \ \\ = \left( 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{(-2\sqrt{3})}{(9 -3)} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6})\\ \ \\ = \left( 3 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} - \frac{(\sqrt{3})}{(3)} \right) \div (3+\sqrt{6}) \\ \ \\ = \frac{3}{ 3+\sqrt{6}} \\ \ \\ = 3-\sqrt{6}​​

    comparing this with a+b6a+b\sqrt6 

    we get, a = 3 and b = -1 

    Now, value of 3a - 2b 

    = 3(3) - 2(-1) = 9 + 2 = 11
