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.
