Given: An expression-


√(36)+√(49)-√(16)

Required: To simplify the expression and determine the correct solution.

Explanation: The square root of a number can be simplified by factorizing the term inside the square root into the product of its factors as follows-


√(6*6)+√(7*7)-√(4*4)

Now, we take out a number outside the square root from the pairs of numbers to give the following-


6+7-4=9

Also, we know that the square of 9 is 81. Hence,


√(81)=9

Hence, the given expression is equal to 9 and the square root of 81.

Final Answer: Option A (1 and 4) is correct.
