Answer

Correct option: A.
$4$
a
(a) We have $x = \sqrt {7 + 4\sqrt 3 } $

$\therefore$ $\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {7 + 4\sqrt 3 } }} = \frac{{\sqrt {7 - 4\sqrt 3 } }}{{\sqrt {7 + 4\sqrt 3 } .\sqrt {7 - 4\sqrt 3 } }} = \sqrt {7 - 4\sqrt 3 } $

$\therefore$ $x + \frac{1}{x} = \sqrt {7 + 4\sqrt 3 } + \sqrt {7 - 4\sqrt 3 } $

$ = (\sqrt 3 + 2) + (2 - \sqrt 3 ) = 4$.
