  1. A \(1.5+\sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(2+\sqrt{3}\)
  3. C \(3+2 \sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(4+\sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.5+\sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x=3+\frac{1}{4+\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{4+\frac{1}{3+\ldots \infty}}}}\) So, \(x=3+\frac{1}{4+\frac{1}{x}}=3+\frac{1}{\frac{4 x+1}{x}}\) \(\Rightarrow(x-3)=\frac{x}{(4 x+1)}\) \(\Rightarrow(4 x+1)(x-3)=x\) \(\Rightarrow 4 x^{2}-12 x+x-3=x\) \(\Rightarrow 4 x^{2}-12 x-3=0\)…
