    If\[x=\frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}},\,\,y=\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}}\]then \[3{{x}^{2}}+4xy\,-3{{y}^{2}}\] is equal to

    A) \[\frac{1}{3}(56\sqrt{10}+12)\] 

    B) \[\frac{1}{3}(56\sqrt{10}-12)\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{3}(56+12\sqrt{10})\]

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given that,\[y=\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}}\] and        \[x=\frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=\frac{1}{x}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[xy=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[3{{x}^{2}}+4xy-3{{y}^{2}}=3(x-y)\]                                                 \[(x+y)+4xy\]                 \[=3\left( \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}}-\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}} \right)\]                                 \[\times \left( \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}} \right)+4\]                 \[=3\left[ \frac{{{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2})}^{2}}-{{(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2})}^{2}}}{(5-2)(5-2)} \right]\]                                 \[[{{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2})}^{2}}+{{(\sqrt{5}\,-\sqrt{2})}^{2}}]+4\]                 \[=\frac{1}{3}\cdot 4\sqrt{10}\cdot 2(5+2)+4\]                 \[=\frac{56}{3}\sqrt{10}+4\]                 \[=\frac{1}{3}(56\sqrt{10}+12)\]
