MCQ
$\sqrt[3]{{(61 - 46\sqrt 5 )}} = $
  • $1 - 2\sqrt 5 $
  • B
    $1 - \sqrt 5 $
  • C
    $2 - \sqrt 5 $
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1 - 2\sqrt 5 $
a
(a) $\sqrt[3]{{61 - 46\sqrt 5 }} = a - \sqrt b $

==> $61 - 46\sqrt 5 = {(a - \sqrt b )^3} = {a^3} + 3ab - (3{a^2} + b)\sqrt b $

==> $61 = {a^3} + 3ab,\,46\sqrt 5 = (3{a^2} + b)\,\sqrt b $

==> $61 = ({a^2} + 3b)\,a$, $23\sqrt {20} = (3{a^2} + b)\sqrt b $

So,$a = 1,\,\,b = 20$.

Therefore, $\sqrt[3]{{61 - 46\sqrt 5 }} = 1 - \sqrt {20} = 1 - 2\sqrt 5 $.
