Question and options

The value of 3+13+13+3+13−33+\frac{1}{\sqrt3}+\frac{1}{3+\sqrt3}+\frac{1}{\sqrt3-3} is
  1. 3+33+\sqrt3
  2. 3
  3. 1
  4. 0

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - 3
1/(3+sqrt3) + 1/(sqrt3-3) = [(sqrt3-3)+(sqrt3+3)]/(3-9) = 2sqrt3/(-6) = -1/sqrt3, which cancels the +1/sqrt3. Value = 3.
