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

    A)  14       

    B)         13

    C)  15       

    D)  10

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[x=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1}=\frac{{{(\sqrt{3}+1)}^{2}}}{3-1}\] \[=\frac{3+1+2\sqrt{3}}{2}=2+\sqrt{3}\] and       \[y=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}=\frac{{{(\sqrt{3}-1)}^{2}}}{3-1}\] \[=\frac{3+1-2\sqrt{3}}{2}=2-\sqrt{3}\]             \[\therefore \]\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{(2+\sqrt{3})}^{2}}+2{{(2-\sqrt{3})}^{2}}\] \[=4+3+4\sqrt{3}+4+3-4\sqrt{3}=7+7=14\]
