Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $(a+\frac{1}{a})^2=3$ Expanding the left side of the equation: ⇒ $a^2 + 2(a)(\frac{1}{a}) + \left(\frac{1}{a}\right)^2 = 3$ ⇒ $a^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{a^2} = 3$ ⇒ $a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2} = 3 - 2$ ⇒ $a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2} = 1$ Therefore, the value of $a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2}$ is 1. Hence, the correct answer is 1.
