    If \[a=\sqrt{7+2\sqrt{12}}\] and \[b=\sqrt{7-2\sqrt{12}},\] then\[({{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}})\] is equal to

    A) 40

    B)  44      

    C)  48

    D)  52

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[a=\sqrt{7+2\times \sqrt{4}\times \sqrt{3}}=\sqrt{4+3+2\times 2\times \sqrt{3}}\] \[=\sqrt{{{(2+\sqrt{3})}^{2}}}=2+\sqrt{3}\] \[\therefore \]      \[b=\sqrt{7}-2\sqrt{12}=2-\sqrt{3}\] \[\therefore \]      \[a+b=2+\sqrt{3}+2-\sqrt{3}=4\] \[ab=(2+\sqrt{3})(2-\sqrt{3})=1\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}={{(a+b)}^{3}}-3ab\,\,(a+b)\] \[=64-3\times 4=52\]
