If x=12x=1-sqrt{2}, the value of (x1x)3left(x-frac{1}{x} ight)^{3} is

a

1

b

222 sqrt{2}

c

8

d

8-8

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

x=12x=1-sqrt{2}

1x=112×1+21+2=12 herefore frac{1}{x}=frac{1}{1-sqrt{2}} imes frac{1+sqrt{2}}{1+sqrt{2}}=-1-sqrt{2}

(x1x)3=(12+1+2)3=23=8 hereforeleft(x-frac{1}{x} ight)^{3}=(1-sqrt{2}+1+sqrt{2})^{3}=2^{3}=8
