Solution
The correct option is
D
98
It is given that
x
=
5
−
2
√
6
.
Let us first find
x
2
as follows:
x
2
=
(
5
−
2
√
6
)
2
=
(
5
)
2
+
(
2
√

)
2
−
(
2
×

×
(
2
√
6
)
)
{
∵
(
a
−
b
)
2
=
(
a
2
+
b
2
−
2
a

)
}
=
25
+
(

)
−

√
6
=
25
+
24
−
20
√
6
=
49
−
20
√
6
Therefore,
x
2
=
49
−
20
√
6
Now consider
x
2
+
1
x
2
as follows:
x

+
1
x
2
=
49
−
20

Hence,
x

x

=

when
