    A.

    123

    B.

    129

    C.

    119

    D.

    14

    Correct option is C


    Given:
    x-1/x= 3
    Formula Used:
    x2 + 1/x2 = (x -1/x)2 + 2
    Solution:
    x-1/x= 3
    On squaring both side
    (x-1/x)^2= 3^2
    x^2+1/x^2 -2x×1/x = 9
    x^2+1/x^2 =11
    On squaring both side
    (x^2+1/x^2 )^1=11^2
    x^4+1/x^4 +2x^2×1/x^2 = 121
    x^4+1/x^4 =121 -2
    x^4+1/x^4 =119
