Correct Answer: 52


Solution : Given: $p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}=14$
we know that,
$p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}=(p+\frac{1}{p})^2-2\times p\times \frac{1}{p}$
$⇒(p+\frac{1}{p})^2-2\times p\times \frac{1}{p}=14$
$⇒(p+\frac{1}{p})^2=14+2$
$⇒(p+\frac{1}{p})^2=16$
$⇒(p+\frac{1}{p})=4$
Now cubing both sides, we get:
$⇒(p+\frac{1}{p})^3=4^3$
$⇒p^3+\frac{1}{p^3}+3\times p\times \frac{1}{p}(p+ \frac{1}{p})=4^3$
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​$⇒​​​​​​​p^3+\frac{1}{p^3}+3\times4=64$
​​​​​​​$⇒​​​​​​​p^3+\frac{1}{p^3}=64-12$
​​​​​​​$⇒​​​​​​​p^3+\frac{1}{p^3}=52$
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct answer is 52.
