\begin{aligned}
\text{If }x = \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right),\text{ what is the value of }\\\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)?
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Lets assume,
\begin{aligned}
\left(25 \right)^{7.5} \times \left(5 \right)^{2.5} \div \left(125 \right)^{1.5} = 5^x \\
\text{then, } \frac{ \left( 5^2 \right)^{7.5} \times \left(5 \right)^{2.5} }{\left(5^3 \right)^{1.5} } = 5^x \\
=> \text{then, } \frac{ \left( 5^{15} \right) \times \left(5^{2.5} \right) }{\left(5^{4.5} \right) } = 5^x \\

=> 5^x = 5^{15 + 2.5 - 4.5} \\
=> 5^x = 5^{13} \\
\text{Hence, } x = 13
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clue:

\begin{aligned}
(\sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}})^2 = x + \frac{1}{x} - 2 \
\end{aligned}
Now put the value of x to calculate the answer :)

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^n}{a^m} \right)} +
\frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^m}{a^n} \right)} \\
= \frac{a^m}{(a^m+a^n)} + \frac{a^n}{(a^m+a^n)} \\
= \frac{(a^m+a^n)}{(a^m+a^n)} = 1
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= (256)^{\frac{5}{4}} = (4^4)^{\frac{5}{4}} = 4^5 = 1024
\end{aligned}
