  1. If x² +
    1
    = 98(x > 0), then the value ofx³ +
    1
    is
    2
    1. 970
    2. 1030
    3. –970
    4. –1030
Correct Option: A

x² +
1
= 98

x +
1
² - 2 = 98
x

x +
1
² = 98 + 2 = 100
x

⇒ x +
1
= √100 = 10.......(i)
x

On cubing both sides,
x +
1
³ = (10)³ = 1000
x

⇒ x³ +
1
+ 3 x +
1
= 1000
x

⇒ x³ +
1
+ 3 × 10 = 1000

⇒ x³ +
1
= 1000 - 30 = 970
