Correct Answer: $\frac{120}{7}$


Solution : $7\mathrm{b}-\frac{1}{4\mathrm{b}}=7$
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{4}{7}$.
$4\mathrm{b}-\frac{1}{7\mathrm{b}}=4$
Squaring both sides, we get
$(4\mathrm{b}-\frac{1}{7\mathrm{b}})^2=4^2$
⇒ $16\mathrm{b^2}+\frac{1}{49\mathrm{b^2}}-\frac{8}{7 }=16$
⇒ $16\mathrm{b}^2+\frac{1}{49\mathrm{b}^2}=\frac{120}{7}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{120}{7}$.
