Correct Answer: $9 \frac{9}{16}$
Solution :
Given: $(4 y-\frac{4}{y})=11$
⇒ $(y-\frac{1}{y})=\frac{11}{4}$
Squaring both sides, we get:
$(y-\frac{1}{y})^2=\frac{121}{16}$
⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}-2×y×\frac{1}{y}=\frac{121}{16}$
⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2} = \frac{121}{16} +2$
$= \frac{121+32}{16}$
$= \frac{153}{16}$
$= 9\frac{9}{16}$
Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{9}{16}$.
