Passage: Let uu be a positive integer and ff be a real number lying between 0and10 and 1. Further, \left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)^{10}=u+fand(2−1)10=vand \left(\sqrt{2}-1\right)^{10}=v.

Question: What is the value of uvuv ?

Options

  1. A11
  2. B22
  3. C0<uv<10< uv< 1
  4. D1<uv<21< uv< 2

Correct answer

C. 0<uv<10< uv< 1

Step-by-step solution

Given (2+1)10=u+fand(2−1)10=v\left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)^{10} = u+f and \left(\sqrt{2}-1\right)^{10} = v.

Multiplying these two equations, we get:

(u+f)v=(2+1)10(2−1)10(u+f)v = \left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)^{10}\left(\sqrt{2}-1\right)^{10}

(u+f)v=((2)2−12)10=110=1(u+f)v = \left((\sqrt{2})^2 - 1^2\right)^{10} = 1^{10} = 1

uv+fv=1⇒uv=1−fvuv + fv = 1 \Rightarrow uv = 1 - fv

Since ff is the fractional part, 0<f<10 \lt f \lt 1.

Also, v=(2−1)10v = \left(\sqrt{2}-1\right)^{10}, and since 0<2−1<10 \lt \sqrt{2}-1 \lt 1, we have 0<v<10 \lt v \lt 1.

Because both fandvf and v lie strictly between 0and10 and 1, their product fvfv also lies strictly between 0and10 and 1, i.e., 0<fv<10 \lt fv \lt 1.

Therefore, uv=1−fvuv = 1 - fv must satisfy:

0<uv<10 \lt uv \lt 1

Answer: 0<uv<10\lt uv\lt 1
