Correct Answer: 820


Solution : According to the question,
$a + b$ = 10 and $ab$ = 6
⇒ $(a + b)^{2}$ = 102
⇒ $a^{2} + 2ab + b^{2}$ = 100
⇒ $a^{2} + 2(6) + b^{2}$ = 100
⇒ $a^{2} + 12 + b^{2}$ = 100
⇒ $a^{2} + b^{2}$ = 88
Now,
⇒  $a^{3} + b^{3} = (a + b)(a^{2} − ab + b^{2})=(10)(88 − 6)=10 × 82$ = 820 
Hence, the correct answer is 820.
