  1. If a and b are rational numbers
    a + b √3 =
    1
    , then a : b is equal to
    2 − √3









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    a + b √3

    =
    1
    = 2 + √3
    2 − √3

    (After rationalising)
    ⇒  a = 2 and b = 1
    ∴  a : b = 2 : 1

    Correct Option: B

    a + b √3

    =
    1
    = 2 + √3
    2 − √3

    (After rationalising)
    ⇒  a = 2 and b = 1
    ∴  a : b = 2 : 1
