'The book of nature is written in the language of Mathematics'. Know the 'Golden Ratio' and its significance

What is the value of 'X'? Read the question in my Maths paper. I gazed at my wrist-watch kept at the front of the desk. The time was running fast, really fast. It was already 2 hours into the exam but I was done with just the 60% of the paper. One more hour and 40% of the paper still remaining, I had to go full throttle or else risk loosing the race.  ' Don't worry Prakhar, you will complete the last territory in time ', assured my inner voice. I wiped the sweat on my brow and started working on the question, to solve for X. X has been a favourite 'unknown' known worldwide. Its elusiveness has been tormenting one and all in the schools and colleges. Though I quite liked Mathematics and was at ease with solving the puzzles, my answer sheet was never bereft of one or the other silly mistake. During my 12th exam, instead of reading A.B, I read it as A-B and lost 5 precious marks due to it.☹️ Unforced errors, I like to call them, relating to sports.
