    If \[x=p+\frac{1}{p}\]and \[y=p-\frac{1}{p},\]then value of \[{{x}^{4}}-2{{x}^{2}}{{y}^{2}}+{{y}^{4}}\] is

    A) 24                                

    B) 4    

    C) 16        

    D) 8

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[x=p+\frac{1}{p}\]and \[y=p-\frac{1}{p}\]
    \[{{x}^{2}}-2{{x}^{2}}{{y}^{2}}+{{y}^{4}}={{[({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})]}^{2}}\]
    \[={{[(x+y)(x-y)]}^{2}}\]
    \[={{\left[ \left( p+\frac{1}{p}+p-\frac{1}{p} \right)\left( p+\frac{1}{p}-p+\frac{1}{p} \right) \right]}^{2}}\]
    [putting the value of a and y]
    \[={{\left[ (2p)\left( \frac{2}{p} \right) \right]}^{2}}=4{{p}^{2}}\times \frac{4}{{{p}^{2}}}=4\times 4=16\]
