Question : Which one of the following is the smallest?
Option 1: $\sqrt{101}-\sqrt{99}$
Option 2: $\sqrt{201}-\sqrt{199}$
Option 3: $\sqrt{301}-\sqrt{299}$
Option 4: $\sqrt{401}-\sqrt{399}$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{401}-\sqrt{399}$
Solution : The expressions given are differences in square roots of numbers that are 2 units apart. For such expressions, the difference decreases as the numbers increase. The function $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$ is concave up, meaning the rate of increase of $f(x)$ decreases as $x$ increases. Therefore, the difference decreases as numbers increase. Therefore, among the given options, $\sqrt{401}-\sqrt{399}$ is the smallest. Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{401}-\sqrt{399}$.
