    If\[1-{{x}^{8}}=65\]and\[1-{{x}^{4}}=64,\]the value of x is

    A)  \[\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]         

    B)  \[\pm \sqrt{2}\]

    C)  \[\pm \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\]        

    D)  \[\pm 2\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[1-{{x}^{4}}=64\]and \[1-{{x}^{8}}=65,\]then\[{{1}^{2}}-{{({{x}^{4}})}^{2}}=65\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(1+{{x}^{4}})(1-{{x}^{4}})=65\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(1+{{x}^{4}})\times 64=65\,\,\,\,\,\,[\because 1-{{x}^{4}}=64]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1+{{x}^{4}}=\frac{65}{64}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{4}}=\frac{65}{64}-1\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}=\pm \frac{1}{8}\] \[\therefore \]      \[x=\pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{8}}=\pm \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\]
