If      and      then among the following the relation between m & n holds is?
A.
m - n + 1 = 0
B.
m + n + 1 = 0
C.
m + n - 1 = 0
D.
m - n - 1 = 0
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
\begin{aligned} & {\text{Let }}m = \sqrt {5 + \sqrt {5 + \sqrt 5 } } \\ & {\text{Factor}} = \left( a \right) \times \left( {a + 1} \right) \\ & {\text{Here }}m = a + 1 \\ & \Rightarrow m - 1 = a\,.........(i) \\ & {\text{Let }}n = \sqrt {5 - \sqrt {5 - \sqrt 5 } } \\ & {\text{Factor}} = \left( a \right) \times \left( {a + 1} \right) \\ & {\text{Here }}n = a\,.........(ii) \\ & {\text{From (i) & (ii)}} \\ & \Leftrightarrow m - 1 = n \\ & \Leftrightarrow m - n - 1 = 0 \\\end{aligned}
