Correct Answer: 20
Solution : Given, $\mathrm{y}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y}}=3$ Cubing both sides, we get ⇒ $(\mathrm{y}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y}})^3=3^3$ ⇒ $\mathrm{y^3}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y^3}}+3\times\mathrm{y}\times\frac{1}{\mathrm{y}}\times(\mathrm{y}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y}})=27$ ⇒ $\mathrm{y^3}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y^3}}+3(3)=27$ ⇒ $\mathrm{y^3}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y^3}}+9=27$ ⇒ $\mathrm{y^3}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y^3}}+2=27-7$ ⇒ $\mathrm{y^3}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y^3}}+2=20$ Hence, the correct answer is 20.
