    The simplified form of \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}+\frac{7}{\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{5}}-\frac{5}{\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{7}}\] is

    A)  5                                

    B)  2

    C)  1                                

    D)  0

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    First time \[=\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}\] \[=\frac{2\times (\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5})}{(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5})(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5})}\] \[=\frac{2\times (\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5})}{7-5}=\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}\] Second time \[=\frac{7}{\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{5}}\]             \[=\frac{7(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{5})}{(\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{5})(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{5})}\]             \[=\frac{7(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{5})}{12-5}\]             \[=\frac{7(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{5})}{7}=\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{15}\] Third time \[=\frac{5}{\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{7}}\]             \[=\frac{5(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{7})}{(\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{7})(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{7})}\]             \[=\frac{5(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{7})}{12-7}=(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{7})\] \[\therefore \] Expression \[=(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5})+(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{5})-(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{7})\] \[=\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}+(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{5})-(\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{7})=0\]
