Question:

If a + b = 12 and ab = 35, find the value of a4 + b4 – 103?

Options:

2226

2026

2126

1226

Correct Answer:

2026

Explanation:

If a + b = 12

ab = 35,

Put the value of x = 7 and y = 5 ( These values will satisfy the given equation )

So, the value of a4 + b4 – 103 = 74 + 54 – 103 = 2401 + 625 - 1000

a4 + b4 – 103 = 3026 - 1000 = 2026
