E. $$\frac{21\sqrt{6}}{6}$$

Let’s simplify the given expression:

√(21)/6 = √(21)/√(36) = √(21/36) = √(7/12)

multiply and divide by √21 to get 21/(6*√21)
or 7/2√21

or √49/√(4*21)

or √(49/84)

√7/12--------(dividing by 7)

√21/6, can be written as √21/(√4 * √9)

=> Cancelling out √3 from numerator and denominator, we get √7/(√4 * √3)

=> Above can be written as √7/√12

Let’s simplify the given expression:

√(21)/6 = √(21)/√(36) = √(21/36) = √(7/12)

why you took denominator in root any particular reason

because you have to reduce the expresson
and we can reduce by cancelling factor 3 which is present in both num. & denominator

Square both Numerator and Denominator : $$\frac{21}{36}$$ => $$\frac{7}{12}$$

Since, we have taken square both in numerator and denominator, the actual value of the fraction will be : $$\sqrt{\frac{7}{12}}$$

Hence, answer must be (C) $$\sqrt{\frac{7}{12}}$$

Thanks mate a little clear. I need to practice these type of question for more clear understanding

√21/6
=√3*√7/3*2
=√7/√3*√4 as √4=2
=√7/√12
