Question : If $(x–4)(x^2+4x+16)=x^3–p$, then $p$ is equal to:
Option 1: 27
Option 2: 8
Option 3: 64
Option 4: 0
Correct Answer: 64
Solution : Given: $(x–4)(x^2+4x+16)=x^3–p$ Formula: We know that $a^3–b^3=(a–b)(a^2+ab+b^2)$ Solution: $x^3–p=(x–4)(x^2+4x+16)$ ⇒ $x^3−p=(x^3−4^3)$ ⇒ $p = 4^3$ So, $p = 64$. Hence, the correct answer is 64.

Option 3: 480
Option 4: 720
Correct Answer: 560
Solution : Given: $(a+b+c)=20$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2=152$ We know the identity, $(a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca$ $(a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)$ ⇒ $20^2=152+2(ab + bc + ca)$ ⇒ $ab + bc +
