Correct Answer: $\frac{15}{13}$


Solution : Given: The expression is $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{5+\frac{1}{2}}}$.
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{10+1}{2}}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{11}{2}}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{1+\frac{2}{11}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{\frac{11+2}{11}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{1}{\frac{13}{11}}$
⇒ $2=x+\frac{11}{13}$
⇒ $x=2–\frac{11}{13}$
⇒ $x=\frac{26–11}{13}=\frac{15}{13}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{15}{13}$.
