Correct Answer: 51
Solution :
Given, $\mathrm{m}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m}}=7$
Squaring both sides,
⇒ $(\mathrm{m}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m}})^2=(7)^2$
⇒ $\mathrm{m^2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m^2}}-2\times\mathrm{m}\times\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m}}=49$
⇒ $\mathrm{m^2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m^2}}-2=49$
⇒ $\mathrm{m^2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m^2}}=49+2=51$
Hence, the correct answer is 51.
