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​​
