  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    (997)3 = (1000 – 3)3
    = (1000)3 – (3)3 – 3 × 1000 × 3 (1000 – 3)
    = 1000000000 – 27 – 9000 × 997
    = 1000000000 – 27 – 8973000
    = 991026973

    Correct Option: A

    (997)3 = (1000 – 3)3
    = (1000)3 – (3)3 – 3 × 1000 × 3 (1000 – 3)
    = 1000000000 – 27 – 9000 × 997
    = 1000000000 – 27 – 8973000
    = 991026973

    ∴  37044 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 2 × 2
    = 33 × 73 × 22
    ∴  Required number = 2 × 2 = 4

    Correct Option: B


    ∴  37044 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 2 × 2
    = 33 × 73 × 22
    ∴  Required number = 2 × 2 = 4

    (105)3 = (100 + 5)3
    = (100)3 + (5)3 + 3 × 100 × 5 (100 + 5)
    [∵  (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)]
    = 1000000 + 125 + 1500 × 105
    = 1000000 + 125 + 157500
    = 1157625

    Correct Option: D

    (105)3 = (100 + 5)3
    = (100)3 + (5)3 + 3 × 100 × 5 (100 + 5)
    [∵  (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)]
    = 1000000 + 125 + 1500 × 105
    = 1000000 + 125 + 157500
    = 1157625


  1. Find the cube root of (–13824).
                          or
    Find the value of 3−13824.

    ∴  13824 = 23 × 23 × 23 × 33
    ∴  3–13824
    = 3(−1)3 23 × 23 × 23 × 33
    = (–1) 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = –24

    Correct Option: D


    ∴  13824 = 23 × 23 × 23 × 33
    ∴  3–13824
    = 3(−1)3 23 × 23 × 23 × 33
    = (–1) 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = –24
