    Question

    Simplify the following.
    (289×289×289+111×111×111)(289×289289×111+111×111)\frac{(289× 289× 289+ 111× 111× 111)}{(289× 289 –289× 111+ 111× 111)}​​

    A.

    400

    B.

    0

    C.

    289

    D.

    300

    Correct option is A

    ​Given:

    (289×289×289+111×111×111)(289×289289×111+111×111)\frac{(289 \times 289 \times 289 + 111 \times 111 \times 111)}{(289 \times 289 - 289 \times 111 + 111 \times 111)}​​

    Concept Used:

    a3+b3=(a+b)(a2ab+b2)a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) 

    Solution:

    (289×289×289+111×111×111)(289×289289×111+111×111)\frac{(289 \times 289 \times 289 + 111 \times 111 \times 111)}{(289 \times 289 - 289 \times 111 + 111 \times 111)} 

    Let:

    a =289 and b= 111

    Thus, the expression becomes:

    (a×a×a+b×b×b)(a×aa×b+b×b)\frac{(a \times a \times a + b \times b \times b)}{(a \times a - a \times b + b \times b)}  

    The numerator is:

    a×a×a+b×b×b=a3+b3a×a×a+b×b×b=a ^3 +b ^3 

    ​Using the identity for the sum of cubes:

    a3+b3=(a+b)(a2ab+b2)a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) 

    Thus, the numerator becomes: (a+b)(a2ab+b2)(a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)​​

    The denominator is:

    a×aa×b+b×b=a2ab+b2a \times a - a \times b + b \times b = a^2 - ab + b^2​​

    Now, substitute the simplified numerator and denominator into the original expression:

    (a+b)(a2ab+b2)a2ab+b2\frac{(a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)}{a^2 - ab + b^2} = (a + b)​

    Now, that a=289 and b=111. Thus, the simplified expression is:

    289 + 111 = 400

    The simplified value of the expression is: 400.
