    If\[\alpha \]and\[\beta \]are the roots of the equation \[{{x}^{2}}-7x+1=0,\]then the value of\[\frac{1}{{{(\alpha -7)}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{(\beta -7)}^{2}}}\]is:

    A)  45

    B)                                         47

    C)  49                         

    D)         50

    E)  51

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given\[\alpha \]and\[\beta \]are the roots of\[{{x}^{2}}-7x+1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\alpha +\beta =7\] and \[\alpha \beta =1\] \[\therefore \]  \[\alpha -7=\beta ,\beta -7=-\alpha \] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{{{(\alpha -7)}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{(\beta -7)}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{{{\beta }^{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{\alpha }^{2}}}\]                                 \[=\frac{{{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}}{(\alpha {{\beta }^{2}})}\]                 \[={{(\alpha +\beta )}^{2}}-2\alpha \beta \]                 \[=49-2=47\]
