KeerthanaPosted on If a = 12, b = 13, c = 15, then the value of a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc is ; a280 b270 c250 d290 Answer : Option AExplanation : a = 12, b = 13, c = 15 ⇒a+b+c=12+13+15=40\Rightarrow a+b+c=12+13+15=40⇒a+b+c=12+13+15=40 ∴a3+b3+c3−3abc\therefore a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}-3 a b c∴a3+b3+c3−3abc =(a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2−ab−bc−ca)=(a+b+c)\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-a b-b c-c a\right)=(a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2−ab−bc−ca) =12(a+b+c)=\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c)=21(a+b+c) [(a−b)2+(b−c)2+(c−a)2]\left[(a-b)^{2}+(b-c)^{2}+(c-a)^{2}\right][(a−b)2+(b−c)2+(c−a)2] =12×40=\frac{1}{2} \times 40=21×40 =[(12−13)2+(13−15)2+(15−12)2]=\left[(12-13)^{2}+(13-15)^{2}+(15-12)^{2}\right]=[(12−13)2+(13−15)2+(15−12)2] =20(1+22+32)=20\left(1+2^{2}+3^{2}\right)=20(1+22+32) =20×(1+4+9)=20 \times(1+4+9)=20×(1+4+9) =20×14=280=20 \times 14=280=20×14=280 Rate This:NaN / 5 - 1 votesAdd comment
