Question

If x is the largest and y is the lowest among ∜6,√2 and ∛4, then the value of x3+y2x3y2\frac{x^3+y^2}{x^3-y^2 }​ will be

A.

3

B.

3/2

C.

2/3

D.

1/3

Correct option is A

Given:
Set of numbers = 614,212,413 6^{\frac{1}{4}}, 2^{\frac{1}{2}}, 4^{\frac{1}{3}}​​
Formula Used:
Convert fractional indices to a common denominator to compare values.
Solution:
The denominators of the exponents are 4, 2, and 3. The LCM is 12.
Rewrite the numbers with 12 as the denominator:
614=6312=(63)112=216112 212=2612=(26)112=64112 413=4412=(44)112=2561126^{\frac{1}{4}} = 6^{\frac{3}{12}} = (6^3)^{\frac{1}{12}} = 216^{\frac{1}{12}} \\ \ \\2^{\frac{1}{2}} = 2^{\frac{6}{12}} = (2^6)^{\frac{1}{12}} = 64^{\frac{1}{12}}\\ \ \\4^{\frac{1}{3}} = 4^{\frac{4}{12}} = (4^4)^{\frac{1}{12}} = 256^{\frac{1}{12}}​​
By comparing the bases, the largest is 256112,256^{\frac{1}{12}},​ so x = 413.4^{\frac{1}{3}}.​​
The lowest is 64112,64^{\frac{1}{12}}, ​so y  =212.= 2^{\frac{1}{2}}.​​
Substitute x and y into the required expression: x3+y2x3y2.\frac{x^3 + y^2}{x^3 - y^2}.​​
x3=(413)3=4x^3 = (4^{\frac{1}{3}})^3 = 4​​
y2=(212)2=2y^2 = (2^{\frac{1}{2}})^2 = 2​​
Result = 4+242=62=3 \frac{4 + 2}{4 - 2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3​​
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (a)
