    Let \[x=\frac{\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}\] and \[y=\frac{1}{x},\] then the value of \[3{{x}^{2}}-5xy+3{{y}^{2}}\] is

    A) 1771                

    B) 1177

    C) 1717    

    D) 1171

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[x=\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}\]
    and       \[y=\frac{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11}}\]                   \[\left[ \because y=\frac{1}{x} \right]\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[x+y=\frac{\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}+\frac{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11}}\]
                \[=\,\,\frac{{{(\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11})}^{2}}+{{(\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11})}^{2}}}{{{(\sqrt{13})}^{2}}+{{(\sqrt{11})}^{2}}}\]
                \[=\,\,\frac{2\,\,[\,{{(\sqrt{13})}^{2}}+{{(\sqrt{11})}^{2}}]}{13-11}=13+11=24\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[3{{x}^{2}}-5xy+3{{y}^{2}}=3\,{{(x+y)}^{2}}-11xy\]
    \[=3\,{{(24)}^{2}}-11=1717\]
