Correct Answer: 142


Solution : Given: $x+ \frac{1}{9x}=4$
Multiply by 3 on both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $3x+ \frac{1}{3x}=12$
Squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $(3x+ \frac{1}{3x})^2=12^2$
⇒ $9x^2+ \frac{1}{9x^2}+2=144$
⇒ $9x^2+ \frac{1}{9x^2}=144–2$
⇒ $9x^2+ \frac{1}{9x^2}=142$
Hence, the correct answer is 142.
