Correct Answer: $5\frac{1}{9}$
Solution :
Given: $\left(3 y+\frac{3}{y}\right)=8$
$⇒(y+\frac{1}{y})=\frac{8}{3}$
Squaring both sides,
$⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}+2)=\frac{64}{9}$
$⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})=\frac{64}{9} - 2$
$⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})=\frac{64-18}{9} $
$⇒(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})=\frac{46}{9}=5\frac{1}{9}$
Hence, the correct answer is $5\frac{1}{9}$.
