Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
This problem uses the difference of squares formula, a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b) . Here, a=10a = 10a=10 and b=99tb = 9\sqrt{9t}b=99t . Squaring bbb gives 81⋅9t=729t81 \cdot 9t = 729t81⋅9t=729t . Thus, the simplified form is 102−(99t)2=100−729t10^2 - (9\sqrt{9t})^2 = 100 - 729t102−(99t)2=100−729t .
