If a = 12, b = 13, c = 15, then the value of a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc is ;

a

280

b

270

c

250

d

290

Answer : Option A
Explanation :

a = 12, b = 13, c = 15

a+b+c=12+13+15=40\Rightarrow a+b+c=12+13+15=40

a3+b3+c33abc\therefore a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}-3 a b c

=(a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2abbcca)=(a+b+c)\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-a b-b c-c a\right)

=12(a+b+c)=\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c)

[(ab)2+(bc)2+(ca)2]\left[(a-b)^{2}+(b-c)^{2}+(c-a)^{2}\right]

=12×40=\frac{1}{2} \times 40

=[(1213)2+(1315)2+(1512)2]=\left[(12-13)^{2}+(13-15)^{2}+(15-12)^{2}\right]

=20(1+22+32)=20\left(1+2^{2}+3^{2}\right)

=20×(1+4+9)=20 \times(1+4+9)

=20×14=280=20 \times 14=280
