    Question

    The value of (1.8)3(1.2)3(1.8)2+2.16+(1.2)2\frac{(1.8)^3 - (1.2)^3}{(1.8)^2 + 2.16 + (1.2)^2}​ is:

    A.

    3

    B.

    1.8

    C.

    0

    D.

    0.6

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    (1.8)3(1.2)3(1.8)2+2.16+(1.2)2\frac{(1.8)^3 - (1.2)^3}{(1.8)^2 + 2.16 + (1.2)^2} \\ 
    Formula Used:
    a3b3a2+ab+b2=ab\frac{a^3 - b^3}{a^2 + ab + b^2} = a - b \\ 
    Solution:
    =>(1.8)3(1.2)3(1.8)2+2.16+(1.2)2=>(1.8)3(1.2)3(1.8)2+1.8×1.2+(1.2)2Let a=1.8, b=1.2Apply identity: a3b3a2+ab+b2=ab=>ab=1.81.2=0.6\Rightarrow \frac{(1.8)^3 - (1.2)^3}{(1.8)^2 + 2.16 + (1.2)^2} \\\Rightarrow \frac{(1.8)^3 - (1.2)^3}{(1.8)^2 +1.8 \times 1.2 + (1.2)^2} \\\text{Let } a = 1.8,\ b = 1.2 \\\text{Apply identity: } \frac{a^3 - b^3}{a^2 + ab + b^2} = a - b \\\Rightarrow a - b = 1.8 - 1.2 = 0.6 \\
    The correct answer is 0.6​
