Correct Answer: $a^3-\frac{1}{a^3}$


Solution : $3\left[\mathrm{a}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right]+\left[\mathrm{a}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right]^3$
Using $(a-b)^3=a^3 - b^3 -3ab(a-b)$
$=3\left[\mathrm{a}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right] + \left[\mathrm{a^3}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a^3}}-3\left[\mathrm{a}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right]\right]$
$=3\left[\mathrm{a}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right] + \left[\mathrm{a^3}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a^3}}\right]-3\left[\mathrm{a}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right]$
$=\left[\mathrm{a^3}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a^3}}\right]$
Hence, the correct answer is $\mathrm{a^3}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a^3}}$.
