Question : Which of the following statements is correct? I. If $x=12, y=-2$ and $z=-10$, then $x^3+y^3+z^3=360$. II. If $x+y=48$ and $4 x y=128$, then $4 x^2+4 y^2=4480$.
Option 1: Neither I nor II
Option 2: Only I
Option 3: Both I and II
Option 4: Only II
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II
Solution : Statement I. If $x=12, y=-2$ and $z=-10$, then $x^3+y^3+z^3=360$. $x^3 = (12)^3 = 1728$ $y^3 = (-2)^3 = -8$ $z^3 = (-10)^3 = -1000$ $\therefore$ $x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = 1728 + (-8) + (-1000) $ ⇒ $x^3 + y^3 +
