Correct Answer: 123
Solution : $x+\frac{1}{x }=3$.........................................(1) Squaring both sides, we get, $⇒(x+\frac{1}{x })^2=3^2$ $⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2 } +2=9$ $⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2 } =7$..................................(2) Cubing both sides of equation (1), we get, $⇒(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}+3(x+\frac{1}{x})$ $⇒3^3=x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}+3(3)$ $⇒x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}=18$..................................(3) Multiplying (2) and (3), we get, $⇒\left ( x^2+\frac{1}{x^2} \right )\cdot \left ( x^3+\frac{1}{x^3} \right )=7\times 18 = 126$ $⇒x^5+\frac{1}{x^5}+x+\frac{1}{x} = 126$ $⇒x^5+\frac{1}{x^5}+3 = 126$ $\therefore x^5+\frac{1}{x^5} = 123$ Hence, the correct answer is 123.
