    If\[{{y}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{y}^{4}}}=47\], then\[{{y}^{4}}-\frac{1}{{{y}^{4}}}\]is

    A) \[3\sqrt{5}\]                  

    B) 105          

    C)  \[21\sqrt{5}\]

    D) \[3\sqrt{45}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{y}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{y}^{4}}}=47\] \[\Rightarrow {{y}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{y}^{4}}}+2=49\,or\,{{\left( {{y}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{7}^{2}}\]             \[\therefore \,\,{{y}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}}=7.....(i)\] Also, \[{{y}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{y}^{4}}}-2-=45\] \[\Rightarrow \left( {{y}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}} \right)=\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt{5}\] \[\therefore \left( {{y}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}} \right)\left( {{y}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{{y}^{2}}} \right)=7\times 3\sqrt{5}\] \[{{y}^{4}}-\frac{1}{{{y}^{4}}}=21\sqrt{5}\]
