Correct Answer: 970
Solution :
Given: $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}} = 98$
We know, $(x+y)^{2}= x^{2}+y^{2}+2xy$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^{2}= x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}+2(x)(\frac{1}{x})$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^{2}= 98+2$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^{2}= 100$
⇒ $ (x+\frac{1}{x})= 10$
Now,
$x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}} = (x+\frac{1}{x})^{3}-3(x)(\frac{1}{x})(x+\frac{1}{x})$
= $10^{3}-3(10)$
= $1000-30$
= $970$
Hence, the correct answer is 970.
