Question : If $\left(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}\right)=167$ and $y>0$, find the value of $\left(y+\frac{1}{y}\right)$.
Option 1: 13
Option 2: $-\sqrt{165}$
Option 3: $\sqrt{165}$
Option 4: –13
Correct Answer: 13
Solution : Given, $\left(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}\right)=167$ Adding 2 on both sides, we get ⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}+2=167+2$ ⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}+2\times y\times\frac{1}{y}=169$ ⇒ $(y+\frac{1}{y})^2=169$ ⇒ $y+\frac{1}{y}=\sqrt{169}$ ⇒ $y+\frac{1}{y}=13$ [As $y>0$] Hence, the correct answer is 13.
