Question : If $\left(3 y+\frac{3}{y}\right)=8$, then find the value of $\left(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}\right)$.
Option 1: $5\frac{1}{9}$
Option 2: $4\frac{5}{6}$
Option 3: $7\frac{1}{9}$
Option 4: $9\frac{1}{9}$
Correct Answer: $5\frac{1}{9}$
Solution : Given: $\left(3 y+\frac{3}{y}\right)=8$ $⇒(y+\frac{1}{y})=\frac{8}{3}$ Squaring both sides, $⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}+2)=\frac{64}{9}$ $⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})=\frac{64}{9} - 2$ $⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})=\frac{64-18}{9} $ $⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})=\frac{46}{9}=5\frac{1}{9}$ Hence, the correct answer is $5\frac{1}{9}$.
