Answer. [A]
Solution
.        

We have, \frac{1}{\sqrt{7}-2}
We have to rationalize it

\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}-2}\times \frac{\sqrt{7}+2}{\sqrt{7}+2}       [Multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{7}+2]

= \frac{\sqrt{7}+2}{\left ( \sqrt{7} \right )^{2}-\left ( 2 \right )^{2}}         [\because (a – b) (a + b) = a2 – b2]

= \frac{\sqrt{7}+2}{7-4}
= \frac{\sqrt{7}+2}{3}

Hence option A is correct.
