Correct answer: D. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Explanation

A: x + 1/x = 2 gives x = 1, so x − 1/x = 0 (III). B: (x + y)² = 2(x² + y²) − (x − y)² = 2(41) − 1 = 81, so x + y = ± 9 (IV). C: 1 − 1/x = 2 gives 1/x = −1, so 1 + 1/x² = 1 + 1 = 2 (II). D: (x − 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² − 2, so x² + 1/x² = 9 + 2 = 11 (I). Hence A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.A: x + 1/x = 2 से x = 1, अतः x − 1/x = 0 (III)। B: (x + y)² = 2(x² + y²) − (x − y)² = 2(41) − 1 = 81, अतः x + y = ± 9 (IV)। C: 1 − 1/x = 2 से 1/x = −1, अतः 1 + 1/x² = 1 + 1 = 2 (II)। D: (x − 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² − 2, अतः x² + 1/x² = 9 + 2 = 11 (I)। अतः A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I।
