Correct Answer: – 29
Solution : Given equation, $K+\frac{1}{K}=-3$ ..........(1) Squaring the equation, we get, $(K+\frac{1}{K})^2=(-3)^2$ $K^2 + \frac{1}{K^2} + 2 = 9$ ⇒ $K^2 + \frac{1}{K^2} = 7$ ...........(2) Cubing equation (1), we get $(K+\frac{1}{K})^3 = (-3)^3$ ⇒ $K^3 + \frac{1}{K^3} + 3\cdot K\cdot\frac{1}{K}(K+\frac{1}{K}) = -27$ ⇒ $K^3+\frac{1}{K^3}+3(-3) = -27$ [Putting value from equation (1)] ⇒ $K^3+\frac{1}{K^3} = -36$ ..........(3) Now consider, $\left(\frac{K^6+1}{K^3}\right)+\left(\frac{K^4+1}{K^2}\right)$ $= \frac{K^6}{K^3}+\frac{1}{K^3} + \frac{K^4}{K^2}+\frac{1}{K^2}$ $= K^3+\frac{1}{K^3} + K^2+\frac{1}{K^2}$ $=- 36 + 7 = -29$ Hence, the correct answer is – 29.
