Question : If $m+\frac{1}{m-2}=4$, then find the value of $(m-2)^2+\frac{1}{(m-2)^2}$.
Option 1: – 2
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given, $m+\frac{1}{m-2}=4$ ⇒ $(m-2)+\frac{1}{m-2}=2$ Squaring both sides, we get: $(m-2)^2+\frac{1}{(m-2)^2}+2(m-2)(\frac{1}{m-2})=4$ ⇒ $(m-2)^2+\frac{1}{(m-2)^2}+2=4$ $\therefore(m-2)^2+\frac{1}{(m-2)^2}=2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
