Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
(1st natural number - 2nd natural number)3 = 1728
1st natural number × 2nd natural number = 108
Formula used:
(A + B)3 = A3 + B3 + 3AB × (A + B)
Calculation:
Let 1st natural number = A
2nd natural number = B
(A - B)3 = 1728
⇒ (A - B) = 3√1728 = 12
squaring both sides
⇒ (A - B)2 = 144
⇒ A2 + B2 - 2AB = 144
⇒ A2 + B2 = 144 + 216 = 360
Now,
(A + B) = √(A2 + B2 + 2AB)
⇒ √(360 + 216) = √576 = 24
(A + B)3 = A3 + B3 + 3AB × (A + B)
⇒ A3 + B3 = (A + B)3 - 3AB × (A + B)
⇒ (24)3 - 3 × 108 × 24
⇒ 13824 - 7776
⇒ 6048
∴ The correct answer is 6048.
