Correct Answer: 169


Solution : Given: $a-b = 11$ and $ab = 24$
Squaring both sides of the equation: $a-b = 11$, we get,
$⇒(11)^{2} = a^{2}+b^{2}-2×ab$
Substituting the value of $ab$ in the above equation and get,
$⇒121 = a^{2}+b^{2}-48$
$\therefore a^{2}+b^{2} = 169$
Hence, the correct answer is 169.
