Correct answer: A

  1. Given quadratic and its roots

The roots α,β\alpha,\betaα,β satisfy x2−2x−3=0.x^2-\sqrt{2}x-\sqrt{3}=0.x2−2​x−3​=0. Hence each root satisfies r2=2 r+3.r^2=\sqrt{2}\,r+\sqrt{3}.r2=2​r+3​.

Also, Pn=αn−βn.P_n=\alpha^n-\beta^n.Pn​=αn−βn.


  1. Recurrence relation for PnP_nPn​

Since α2=2α+3\alpha^2=\sqrt{2}\alpha+\sqrt{3}α2=2​α+3​, multiplying by αn\alpha^nαn gives αn+2=2αn+1+3αn.\alpha^{n+2}=\sqrt{2}\alpha^{n+1}+\sqrt{3}\alpha^n.αn+2=2​αn+1+3​αn. Similarly, βn+2=2βn+1+3βn.\beta^{n+2}=\sqrt{2}\beta^{n+1}+\sqrt{3}\beta^n.βn+2=2​βn+1+3​βn. Subtracting, Pn+2=2Pn+1+3Pn.P_{n+2}=\sqrt{2}P_{n+1}+\sqrt{3}P_n.Pn+2​=2​Pn+1​+3​Pn​. So, P12=2P11+3P10,P_{12}=\sqrt{2}P_{11}+\sqrt{3}P_{10},P12​=2​P11​+3​P10​, P11=2P10+3P9.P_{11}=\sqrt{2}P_{10}+\sqrt{3}P_9.P11​=2​P10​+3​P9​.


  1. Evaluate the given expression

We need to compute E=(113−102)P10+(112+10)P11−11P12.E=(11\sqrt{3}-10\sqrt{2})P_{10}+(11\sqrt{2}+10)P_{11}-11P_{12}.E=(113​−102​)P10​+(112​+10)P11​−11P12​.

Now use P12=2P11+3P10.P_{12}=\sqrt{2}P_{11}+\sqrt{3}P_{10}.P12​=2​P11​+3​P10​. Then \begin{align*} E&=(11\sqrt{3}-10\sqrt{2})P_{10}+(11\sqrt{2}+10)P_{11}-11(\sqrt{2}P_{11}+\sqrt{3}P_{10})\ &=(11\sqrt{3}-10\sqrt{2}-11\sqrt{3})P_{10}+\big((11\sqrt{2}+10)-11\sqrt{2}\big)P_{11}\ &=-10\sqrt{2},P_{10}+10P_{11}\ &=10(P_{11}-\sqrt{2}P_{10}). \end{align*}

Now use P11=2P10+3P9.P_{11}=\sqrt{2}P_{10}+\sqrt{3}P_9.P11​=2​P10​+3​P9​. So, P11−2P10=3P9.P_{11}-\sqrt{2}P_{10}=\sqrt{3}P_9.P11​−2​P10​=3​P9​.

Therefore, E=103P9.E=10\sqrt{3}P_9.E=103​P9​.


  1. Compare with options

Thus the expression equals 103P9,10\sqrt{3}P_9,103​P9​, which is Option A.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: A

This matches our derived answer.
