    If \[x=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}\], then the value of \[{{x}^{3}}-2{{x}^{2}}-7x+5\]is

    A)  1                    

    B)  2            

    C)  3      

    D)  4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c): We have, \[x=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{{{2}^{2}}-{{\left( \sqrt{3} \right)}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4-3}=2-\sqrt{3}\]    \[\Rightarrow x-2=-\sqrt{3}\Rightarrow {{\left( x-2 \right)}^{2}}={{\left( -\sqrt{3} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-4x+4=3\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-4x+1=0\] \[\therefore {{x}^{3}}-2{{x}^{2}}-7x+5\] \[=x\left( {{x}^{2}}-4x+1 \right)+2\left( {{x}^{2}}-4x+1 \right)+3\] \[=x\times 0+2\times 0+3=3.\]
