Correct Answer: 14
Solution : Given: $x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}=34$ Adding 2 to both sides, we get, $⇒x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}+2=34+2$ $⇒(x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}=(6)^{2}$ $⇒x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}=6$ Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get, $⇒x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2=6-2$ $⇒(x-\frac{1}{x})^{2}=(2)^{2}$ $⇒x-\frac{1}{x}=2$ Now, $(x-\frac{1}{x})^3=x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x-\frac{1}{x})$ $⇒2^3=x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×2$ $\therefore x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}}=14$ Hence, the correct answer is 14.
