Question : If $a-\frac{1}{a}=4$, then the value of $a+\frac{1}{a}$ is:
Option 1: $5 \sqrt{5}$
Option 2: $4 \sqrt{5}$
Option 3: $2 \sqrt{5}$
Option 4: $3 \sqrt{5}$
Correct Answer: $2 \sqrt{5}$
Solution : Given: $a-\frac{1}{a}=4$ Squaring both sides, we get, ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}-2=16$ ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=16+2$ ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=18$ Adding 2 on both sides, we get, ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}+2=18+2$ ⇒ $(a+\frac{1}{a})^2=20$ $\therefore a+\frac{1}{a}=2\sqrt5$ Hence, the correct answer is $2\sqrt5$.
