Which of the following equals 10?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (7+3)2−221({\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{3})^2} - {2\sqrt{21}} .

(7+3)2−221({\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{3})^2} - {2\sqrt{21}}

⇒ (7\sqrt7)2 + (3\sqrt3)2 + 2 × 7\sqrt7 × 3\sqrt3 - 221\sqrt21

⇒ 7 + 3 + 221\sqrt21 - 221\sqrt21 = 10
