Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given: $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{2}=3$ $\therefore (a+\frac{1}{a})=\sqrt3$ Cubing both sides, we get $a^3+\frac{1}{a^3}+3×a×\frac{1}{a}(a+\frac{1}{a})=3\sqrt3$ ⇒ $a^3+\frac{1}{a^3}+3(\sqrt3)=3\sqrt3$ ⇒ $a^3+\frac{1}{a^3}=3\sqrt3-3\sqrt3=0$ To find: $(a^{6}-\frac{1}{a^{6}})$ $(a^{6}-\frac{1}{a^{6}})=(a^{3}-\frac{1}{a^{3}})$$(a^{3}+\frac{1}{a^{3}})$ Putting the value of $a^3+\frac{1}{a^3}$, we get $(a^{6}-\frac{1}{a^{6}})=(a^{3}-\frac{1}{a^{3}})×0$ ⇒ $(a^{6}-\frac{1}{a^{6}})=0$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.
