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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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 +
