If the summation of roots of two integers is √(11+8√2). What is the summation of the squares of these two integers?

A 49

B 55

C 57

D 63

E 78

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Let, 
The two integers are x and y. 
ATQ,
 √x + √y = √(11 + 8√2)
⇒ (√x + √y)2 = {√(11 + 8√2)}2
⇒ x + 2√x . √y + y = 11 + 8√2
⇒ x + y + 2√(xy) = 11 + 8√2

So, x + y = 11

And,
2√(xy) = 8√2 
⇒ √(xy) = 4√2 
⇒ xy = 32 

Now,
(x + y)2 = 112 
⇒ x2  + y2 + 2xy = 121
⇒ x2  + y2 = 121 - 2 . 32 
⇒ x2  + y2 = 57
