Question : If $2x + {\frac{2}{9x}} = 4$, then the value of $27x^3 + \frac{1}{27x^{3}}$ is:
Option 1: 180
Option 2: 198
Option 3: 234
Option 4: 252
Correct Answer: 198
Solution : Given: $2x + {\frac{2}{9x}}= 4$--------------------------(i) In order to bring 3 as coefficient of $x$, multiply (i) with $\frac{3}{2}$, $\frac{3}{2}×(2x+{\frac{2}{9x}}) = \frac{3}{2}×4$ ⇒$\frac{3}{2}×2x+\frac{3}{2}×\frac{2}{9x} = 6$ ⇒ $3x+\frac{3}{9x} = 6$ ⇒ $3x+\frac{1}{3x} = 6$-------------------------(ii) Taking a cube on both sides of equation (ii), $(3x+\frac{1}{3x})^{3} = 6^{3}$ Since
