Formula used:
(a + 1/a) = P ; then
(a2 + 1/a2) = P2 - 2
(a3 + 1/a3) = P3 - 3P
Calculation:
a + (1/a) = 7
⇒ (a2 + 1/a2) = (7)2 - 2 = 49 - 2 = 47
⇒ (a3 + 1/a3) = (7)3 - (3 × 7) = 343 - 21 = 322
a5 + (1/a5) = (a2 + 1/a2) × (a3 + 1/a3) - (a + 1/a)
⇒ 47 × 322 - 7
⇒ 15134 - 7 = 15127
∴ The correct answer is 15127.
