Which of the following inequalities holds true? (A) $\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}>\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}$. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (B) and (D) only (A), (B) and (C) only (A) and (B) only (B) and (C) only |
(A), (B) and (C) only |
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (C) only (A) $\sqrt5+\sqrt3$ and $\sqrt6+\sqrt2$ Square both sides $(\sqrt5+\sqrt3)^2=8+2\sqrt{15}$ $(\sqrt6+\sqrt2)^2=8+2\sqrt{12}$ Since $\sqrt{15}>\sqrt{12}$, left side is greater True (B) If $a>b$ and $c<0$ then $\frac{a}{c}<\frac{b}{c}$ Division by a negative number reverses inequality True (C) If $0<\text{ x }<1$ then $\frac{1}{x^2}>1$ and $\frac{1}{x}>1$ but $\frac{1}{x^2}>\frac{1}{x}$ Hence $\frac{1}{x^2}>\frac{1}{x}>1$ True (D) Given $\frac{a-b}{6.25}=\frac{4}{2.5}$ $a-b=6.25\times\frac{4}{2.5}=10$ $a-b=10$ $a>b$ So $b>a$ is false False The correct inequalities are (A), (B) and (C). |
