    Question

    If x1x=4x - \frac{1}{x} = 4, then the value of x31x3x^3 - \frac{1}{x^3} is:​

    A.

    76

    B.

    414

    C.

    420

    D.

    259

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    x1x=4x-\dfrac{1}{x}=4​​

    Formula Used:
    a3b3=(ab)3+3ab(ab)a^3-b^3=(a-b)^3+3ab(a-b)​​

    Solution:
    Here a = x; b=1x=\dfrac{1}{x} ​; ab = 1.
    x31x3=(x1x)3+3×1×(x1x)x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=(x-\frac{1}{x})^3+3\times1\times\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)​​
    =43+3×4=64+12=764^3+3\times4=64+12=76​​
