$$\frac{{\sqrt {3 + x} + \sqrt {3 - x} }}{{\sqrt {3 + x} - \sqrt {3 - x} }} = 2{\text{,}}$$     then x is equal to?

A. $$\frac{5}{{12}}$$

B. $$\frac{{12}}{5}$$

C. $$\frac{5}{7}$$

D. $$\frac{7}{5}$$

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{\sqrt {3 + x} + \sqrt {3 - x} }}{{\sqrt {3 + x} - \sqrt {3 - x} }} = \frac{2}{1}{\text{ }} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\sqrt {3 + x} }}{{\sqrt {3 - x} }} = \frac{{2 + 1}}{{2 - 1}} = \frac{3}{1} \cr & \left[ {\frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} = \frac{{\text{C}}}{{\text{D}}}} \right] \cr & \left[ {\frac{{{\text{A}} + {\text{B}}}}{{{\text{A}} - {\text{B}}}} = \frac{{{\text{C}} + {\text{D}}}}{{{\text{C}} - {\text{D}}}}} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\sqrt {3 + x} }}{{\sqrt {3 - x} }} = 3{\text{ }} \cr & {\text{Squaring both sides}} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{3 + x}}{{3 - x}} = 9 \cr & \Rightarrow 3 + x = 27 - 9x \cr & \Rightarrow 10x = 24 \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{24}}{{10}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{12}}{5} \cr} $$
