Options

  1. A

    v=v1+v2+v3\sqrt{v}=\sqrt{v_1}+\sqrt{v_2}+\sqrt{v_3}v​=v1​​+v2​​+v3​​

  2. B

    v=v1+v2+v3v=v_1+v_2+v_3v=v1​+v2​+v3​

  3. C

    1v=1v1+1v2+1v3\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}+\frac{1}{v_3}v1​=v1​1​+v2​1​+v3​1​

  4. D

    1v=1v1+1v2+1v3\frac{1}{\sqrt{v}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{v_1}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{v_2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{v_3}}v​1​=v1​​1​+v2​​1​+v3​​1​
