IMO E
(sqrt(17+sqrt(264))) = sqrt(a)+sqrt(b)
squaring both sides
17+sqrt(2*2*6*11) = a+b+2*sqrt(a*b)
11+6+2*sqrt(11*6)=a+b+2*sqrt(a*b)
from equation above it's clear that a = 11 and b= 6
So a-b = 11-6 = 5

ROUND ONLY ONCE TO THE PLACE YOU ARE ASKED TO CONSIDERING ONLY IMMEDIATE DIGIT. (AS GmatMathPro mentioned )
MISCONCEPTION : ROUNDING MORE THAN ONCE
TAKEAWAY : ROUND ONCE

First and the last even terms in the sequence are 100 and 300 Now, Sum = Avg* # of terms Avg= (First+Last term)/2 =400/2 = 200 # of terms = (Last - First term)/(multiple of the #) +1 =(300-100)/2 +1 =101 So, ...
