Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{3 \sqrt{3}}$
Solution : Given: $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=\frac{7}{3}$ ⇒ $(a-\frac{1}{a})^2 +2=\frac{7}{3}$ ⇒ $(a-\frac{1}{a})^2=\frac{7}{3} -2$ ⇒ $(a-\frac{1}{a})^2=\frac{1}{3}$ ⇒ $(a-\frac{1}{a})=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ Now, $(a-\frac{1}{a})^3=a^3-\frac{1}{a^3}-3×a×\frac{1}{a}(a-\frac{1}{a})$ ⇒ $(\frac{1}{\sqrt 3})^3=a^3-\frac{1}{a^3}-3(\frac{1}{\sqrt 3})$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{3\sqrt 3}=a^3-\frac{1}{a^3}-\sqrt3$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{3\sqrt 3}+\sqrt3=a^3-\frac{1}{a^3}$ ⇒ $\frac{1+9}{3\sqrt 3}=a^3-\frac{1}{a^3}$ ⇒ $a^3-\frac{1}{a^3} = \frac{10}{3\sqrt 3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{10}{3\sqrt 3}$.
