Correct Answer - 4
We have `(5+sqrt(2))x^(2)-(4+sqrt(5))x+8+2sqrt(5)=0`
`:.` Sum of the roots `=(4+sqrt(5))/(5+sqrt(2))`
and product of the roots `=(8+2sqrt(5))/(5+sqrt(2))`
and product of the roots `=(8+2sqrt(5))/(5+sqrt(2))`
`:.` The harmonic mean of the roots
`=(2xx"Product of the roots")/("Sum of the roots")=(2xx(8+2sqrt(5)))/((4+sqrt(5)))=4`
