Correct option is B
Given:
(4.2)2+5.04+(1.2)2(4.2)3−(1.2)3
Formula Used:
a3−b3=(a−b)(a2+ab+b2)
Solution:
By using the above identity:
(4.2)2+5.04+(1.2)2(4.2)3−(1.2)3⟹4.22+5.04+1.22(4.2−1.2)[4.22+4.2×1.2+1.22]⟹4.22+5.04+1.22(3)[4.22+5.04+1.22]⟹3
Information Booster:
a3+b3=(a+b)(a2−ab+b2)(a−b)3=a3−b3−3ab(a−b)(a+b)3=a3+b3+3ab(a+b)
