A. 5

B. 6

C. 7

D. 8

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {p^2} + \frac{1}{{{p^2}}} = 47 \cr & {\text{On adding 2 both side}} \cr & {p^2} + \frac{1}{{{p^2}}} + 2 = 47 + 2 \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {p + \frac{1}{p}} \right)^2} = 49 \cr & \Rightarrow \left( {p + \frac{1}{p}} \right) = 7 \cr & \Rightarrow p + \frac{1}{p} = 7 \cr} $$
