    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [b] is correct. \[{{x}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{4}}}={{\left( {{x}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left\{ {{x}^{2}}+\left( \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right) \right\}}^{2}}-2\times {{x}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}\] \[={{\left\{ {{\left( x+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}-2\times x\times \frac{1}{x} \right\}}^{2}}-2={{\left\{ {{6}^{2}}-2 \right\}}^{2}}-2={{\left\{ 36-2 \right\}}^{2}}-2={{\left\{ 34 \right\}}^{2}}-2=1154\]
