Question

If \(x + \frac{1}{{1 + \;\frac{1}{{2 + \;\frac{1}{3}}}}} = 2,\) then what is x equal to?

This question was previously asked in
CDS I 2016 English Previous Year Paper (14-Feb-2016)
The correct answer is

13/10

\(\begin{array}{l} x + \frac{1}{{1 + \;\frac{1}{{2 + \;\frac{1}{3}}}}} = 2\\ \Rightarrow x + \frac{1}{{1 + \frac{3}{7}}} = 2 \end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow x + \frac{7}{{10}} = 2\\ \Rightarrow x = 2 - \frac{7}{{10}}\\ \Rightarrow x = \frac{{13}}{{10}} \end{array}\)
