If 53+75\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{75}= 17.32, then the value of 143+108\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{108} is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 34.64.

 53+75\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{75}= 17.32 ⇒ 5(3)1/2 + 5(3)1/2 = 17.32 

So, 10(3)1/2 = 17.32

 143+108\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{108} = 14(3)1/2 + (36 × 3)1/2

⇒  143+108\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{108} = 14(3)1/2 + 6(3)1/2 = 20(3)1/2

So, 20(3)1/2 = 2 × 10(3)1/2 = 2 × 17.32 = 34.64
