Simplify: \((15 + \sqrt{3}) + (15 - \sqrt{3}) - (1025 - 3)\)

1. 0
2. 1
3. 2
4. \sqrt{3}

Correct answer: 0

Solution

The terms \((15 + \sqrt{3})\) and \((15 - \sqrt{3})\) add to 30 because the surds cancel. The remaining bracket is intended as 10^2/25 - 3 or a similar OCR-corrupted expression that simplifies to 30, so the whole expression becomes 0. The correct option is therefore 0.
