Arrange the following in descending order.
(A) $$\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}$$
(B) $$\sqrt{4} - \sqrt{3}$$
(C) $$\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}$$
(D) $$\sqrt{2} - 1$$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
(A):Β $$\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}$$ =Β $$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\ 3}+\sqrt{\ 2}}$$
(B):Β $$\sqrt{4} - \sqrt{3}$$ =Β $$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\ 4}+\sqrt{\ 3}}$$
(C):Β $$\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{4}$$ =Β $$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{\ 4}}$$
(D):Β $$\sqrt{2} - 1$$ =Β $$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{\ 1}}$$
Now,Β $$\left(\sqrt{\ 5}+\sqrt{\ 4}\right)>\left(\sqrt{\ 4}+\sqrt{\ 3}\right)>\left(\sqrt{\ 3}+\sqrt{\ 2}\right)>\left(\sqrt{\ 2}+1\right)$$
So,Β $$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\ 5}+\sqrt{\ 4}}<\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\ 4}+\sqrt{\ 3}}<\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\ 3}+\sqrt{\ 2}}<\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\ 2}+1}$$
So,Β $$D>A>B>C$$
