    (a2ย + b2).
    A 56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the question,

    (a + b)2ย = 82

    Or, a2ย + b2ย + 2ab = 64

    Or, a2ย + b2ย + 20 = 64

    So, a2ย + b2ย = 64 - 20 = 44
