Simplify: \(\sqrt{98} - \sqrt{32} + \sqrt{50}\)

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

\(8\sqrt{2}\)

Express each surd in simplest form:

\(\sqrt{98} = \sqrt{49 \times 2} = 7\sqrt{2}\)

\(\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \times 2} = 4\sqrt{2}\)

\(\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = 5\sqrt{2}\)

Combine like terms:

\(7\sqrt{2} - 4\sqrt{2} + 5\sqrt{2} = 8\sqrt{2}\)

Hence, the simplified value is \(8\sqrt{2}\).
