MCQ
Solution of the equation $\sqrt {(x + 10)} + \sqrt {(x - 2)} = 6$ are
  • A
    $0$
  • $6$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$6$
b
(b) $\sqrt {x + 10} + \sqrt {x - 2} = 6$$ \Rightarrow $$\sqrt {x + 10} = 6 - \sqrt {x - 2} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $x + 10 = 36 + x - 2 - 12\sqrt {x - 2} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $2 = \sqrt {x - 2} $ $ \Rightarrow $ $4 = x - 2$ $ \Rightarrow $ $x = - 6$

This value satisfies the given equation.

$\therefore x=6$.
