The sum of the cubes of the numbers 22, –15 and –7 is equal to

a) 0

b) 6930

c) 3

d) 9630

Answer: (b)

Here, 22 - 15 - 7 = 0

We know that

$a^3 + b^3 + c^3$ = 3abc,

if a + b + c = 0

$(22)^3 + (–15)^3 + (–7)^3$

= 3 × 22 × (–15) (–7) = 6930

$√^3{0.000125}$ is equal to

a) 0.005

b) 0.5

c) 0.05

$x = √{121} = 11$

Cube of 11 =1331
