If a² + b² = 5ab, then the value of $$\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{{{b^2}}}{\text{ + }}\frac{{{b^2}}}{{{a^2}}}} \right)$$   is?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {a^2} + {b^2} = 5ab \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{a^2}}}{{ab}} + \frac{{{b^2}}}{{ab}} = 5 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{a}{b}{\text{ + }}\frac{b}{a}{\text{ = 5}} \cr & {\text{Squaring the both sides}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{a}{b}} \right)^2}{\text{ + }}{\left( {\frac{b}{a}} \right)^2} + 2 \times \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{b}{a} = 25 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{a^2}}}{{{b^2}}}{\text{ + }}\frac{{{b^2}}}{{{a^2}}} = 25 - 2 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{a^2}}}{{{b^2}}}{\text{ + }}\frac{{{b^2}}}{{{a^2}}} = 23 \cr} $$
