Question

If  7b14b=77b - \frac{1}{4b} = 7,then what is the value of 16b2+149b216b^2 + \frac{1}{49b^2}  = ?​

A.

80/49

B.

104/7

C.

120/7

D.

4 7/2

Correct option is C

Given:

7b14b=77b - \frac{1}{4b} = 7 

Formula Used: 

(ab)2=a2+b22ab(a -b )^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab 

Solution:

7b14b=77b - \frac{1}{4b} = 7​​
multiply by 47 \frac{4}{7}​​
4b17b=4\quad 4b - \frac{1}{7b} = 4​​
square on both sides

=>16b2+149b287=16 =>16b2+149b2=16+87 =1207\quad \Rightarrow 16b^2 + \frac{1}{49b^2} - \frac{8}{7} = 16\\\ \\\quad \Rightarrow 16b^2 + \frac{1}{49b^2} = 16 + \frac{8}{7}\\\ \\\quad = \frac{120}{7}​​
