If xx is real, x+1x0x+\frac{1}{x} \neq 0 and x3+1x3=0x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}}=0, then the value of (x+1x)4\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{4} is

a

4

b

9

c

16

d

25

Answer : Option B
Explanation :

(x+1x)3=x3+1x3+3(x+1x)=3(x+1x)\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{3}=x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}}+3\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=3\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)

(x+1x)2=3\Rightarrow\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}=3

(x+1x)4=3×3=9\therefore\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{4}=3 \times 3=9
