Question : If $x=2+\sqrt3$, then the value of $\frac{x^{2}-x+1}{x^{2}+x+1}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{4}$
Option 3: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{3}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{5}$
Solution : $x=2+\sqrt{3}$ $\frac{1}{x}=2–\sqrt{3}$ (by rationalisation) So, $x+\frac{1}{x}=2+\sqrt{3}+2–\sqrt{3}$ ⇒ $x+\frac{1}{x}=2+2$ $\therefore x+\frac{1}{x}=4$ Now, $\frac{x^2–x+1}{x^2+x+1}$ Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by $x$, we get, $=\frac{x–1+\frac{1}{x}}{x+1+\frac{1}{x}}$ $=\frac{(x+\frac{1}{x})–1}{(x+\frac{1}{x})+1}$ $=\frac{4–1}{4+1}$ $=\frac{3}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{5}$.
