Question
What is the value of ${√17}/6$ − $5/{√17}$?
A
${-13√17}/102$.
B
${+13√17}/102$.
C
${-5√17}/102$.
D
${+5√17}/102$.
Soln.
Ans: a
Ans: a
The given expression can be simplified to ${{(√17)^2} - 6 × 5}/{6 × √17}$, which is same as ${17 - 30}/{6 × √17}$, which is same as ${-13/{6 × √17}$. Rationalizing, we get ${-13/{6 × √17} × {√17/√17}$ which gives ${-13√17}/102$
