\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 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 B

Explanation:

\begin{align}&\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{x-2} = \left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{x-7}\\\\
&\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{x-2} = \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{-(x-7)}\\\\
&\Rightarrow x - 2 = -(x - 7)\\\\
&\Rightarrow x - 2 = -x + 7\\\\
&\Rightarrow x-2 = -x + 7\\\\
&\Rightarrow 2x = 9\\\\
&\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{9}{2} = 4.5
\end{align}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
6^{m-2}\\ = \dfrac{6^m}{6^2}\\ = \dfrac{46656}{6^2}\\ = \dfrac{46656}{36} = 1296
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We know that \begin{aligned} (11)^2 = 121
\end{aligned}
So, putting values in said equation we get,
\begin{aligned} (11-1)^{2 + 1} = (10)^3 = 1000 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}3^{x-y} = 27 = 3^3 <=> x-y = 3 \text{... (i)}\\
3^{x+y} = 243 = 3^5 <=> x+y = 5 \text{... (ii)} \\

\text{ adding (i) and (ii)}
=> 2x = 8 \\
=> x = 4
\end{aligned}
