Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 730 Given: a2 + b2 = 82 ab = 9 Formula used: (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b) Calculation: (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b) We need to find (a + b) (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab ⇒ (a + b)2 = 82 + 2 × 9 ⇒ (a + b)2 = 100 ⇒ (a + b) = 10 Now, (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b) ⇒ (10)3 = a3 + b3 + 3 × 9 × 10 ⇒ 1000 = a3 + b3 + 270 ⇒ a3 + b3 = 1000 - 270 = 730 ∴ the value of a3 + b3 is 730
