Q:

$[\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{3}} - \frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}} - \frac{6}{\sqrt{8} - \sqrt{12}}] = ?$

A) sqtr{3}-sqrt{2}	B) sqtr{3}+sqrt{2}
C) 5sqrt{3}	D) 1

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5sqrt{3}

Explanation:

Given Exp = $\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}} - \frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}} - \frac{6}{2 (\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})}$

= $\frac{3 \sqrt{2} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3})}{6 - 3} - \frac{4 \sqrt{3} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})}{6 - 2} + \frac{3}{(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})} \times \frac{(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}$

= $\sqrt{2} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}) - \sqrt{3} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}) + 3 (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})$

= $\sqrt{12} + \sqrt{6} - \sqrt{18} - \sqrt{6} + 3 \sqrt{3} + 3 \sqrt{2}$

= $5 \sqrt{3}$

A) Rs. 13 and Rs. 17	B) Rs. 17 and Rs. 19
C) Rs. 23 and Rs. 17	D) Rs. 13 and Rs. 19

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 13 and Rs. 17

Explanation:

If fares for cities L and M from K are x and y respectively, then

2x + 3y = 77 or 6x + 9y = 231...(1)
3x + 2y = 73 or 6x + 4y = 146...(2)

subtracting 2 from 1, we get

5y = 85

y = Rs. 17 => x = Rs. 13
