If `64x^(2) + (1)/(64 x^(2)) = 20` , then `8x - (1)/(4x)` can be `"_______"`A. 2B. 8C. 1D. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`64x^(2) + (1)/(16x^(2)) = 20`
`(8x)^(2) + ((1)/(4x))^(2) = 20`
`(8x)^(2) + ((1)/(4x))^(2) - 2(8x)((1)/(4x)) + 2(8x) ((1)/(4x)) = 20`
`(8x - (1)/(4x))^(2) + 4 = 20`
`(because (p-q)^(2) = p^(2) + q^(2) - 2pq)`
`(8x - (1)/(4x))^(2) = 16`
`8x - (1)/(4x) = 4`.
Hence , the correct option is (d) .
