Question : If $a-\frac{1}{a-5}=10$, then the value of $(a-5)^3-\frac{1}{(a-5)^3}$ is:
Option 1: 140
Option 2: 70
Option 3: 100
Option 4: 120
Correct Answer: 140
Solution : $a-\frac{1}{a-5}=10$ .............(1) Subtract 5 in equation (1) on both sides $(a-5)-\frac{1}{a-5}=10-5$ ⇒ $(a-5)-\frac{1}{a-5}=5$ Now, take $(a - 5) = x$ So, the equation becomes ⇒ $x-\frac{1}{x}=5$ Cubing both sides ⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3(x-\frac{1}{x}) = 125$ ⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3} = 125+3(5)$ ⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3} = 140$ Hence, the correct answer is 140.
