    The greatest integer less than or equal to; \[{{(\sqrt{2}+1)}^{6}}\] is

    A) 196

    B) 197

    C) 198

    D) 199

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let \[{{(\sqrt{2}+1)}^{6}}=k+f,\] where k is integral part and f the fraction \[(0\le f<1)\] Let \[{{(\sqrt{2}-1)}^{6}}=f',(0<f'<1),\] Since \[0<(\sqrt{2}-1)<1\] Now, \[k+f+f'={{(\sqrt{2}+1)}^{6}}+{{(\sqrt{2}-1)}^{6}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,f+f'=198-k\] = an integer But \[0\le f<1\] and \[0<f'<1\Rightarrow 0<(f+f')<2\] \[\Rightarrow f+f'=1,(\because f+f'\,\,is\,\,an\,\,\operatorname{int}eger)\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,By(i),I=198-(f+f')=198-1=197\]
