If `2y + (1)/(2y) = 3 ` , then `16y^(4) + (1)/(16y^(4)) = "_____"`.A. 81B. 79C. 49D. 47

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Given , `2y + (1)/(2y) = 3`
Taking squares on both the sides ,
`(2y + (1)/(2y))^(2) = 3^(2)`
`4y^(2) + (1)/(4y^(2)) + 2 = 9`
`4y^(2) + (1)/(4y^(2)) = 7`
Again taking squares on both the sides ,
`(4y^(2) + (1)/(4y^(2)))^(2) = 7^(2)`
`16y^(4) + (1)/(16y^(4)) + 2 = 49`
`16y^(2) + (1)/(16y^(4)) = 47`
Hence , the correct option is (d) .
