    Question

    If fraction numerator x to the power of 2 end exponent plus x plus 1 over denominator x to the power of 2 end exponent plus 2 x plus 1 end fraction equals A plus fraction numerator B over denominator x plus 1 end fraction plus fraction numerator C over denominator left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction then A-B=

    1. 4C    
    2. 2    
    3. 3C    
    4. 4C+1    

    Hint:

    Take LCM on left hand side and simplify. Then equate the coefficients of RHS and LHS

    The correct answer is: 2

       Given :
       fraction numerator x to the power of 2 end exponent plus x plus 1 over denominator x to the power of 2 end exponent plus 2 x plus 1 end fraction equals A plus fraction numerator B over denominator x plus 1 end fraction plus fraction numerator C over denominator left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction
      Taking LCM on left hand side and simplifying
      rightwards double arrow fraction numerator x squared plus x plus 1 over denominator x squared plus 2 x plus 1 end fraction equals fraction numerator A left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis squared space plus space B left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis space plus space C over denominator left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis squared end fraction rightwards double arrow fraction numerator x squared plus x plus 1 over denominator left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis squared end fraction equals fraction numerator A left parenthesis x squared plus 2 x space plus space 1 right parenthesis space plus space B left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis space plus space C over denominator left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis squared end fraction rightwards double arrow fraction numerator x squared plus x plus 1 over denominator blank end fraction equals fraction numerator A left parenthesis x squared plus 2 x space plus space 1 right parenthesis space plus space B left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis space plus space C over denominator blank end fraction
