  1. Solve the following equations and find the value of abc?

  2. A.

     3

    B.

    6

    C.

    9

    D.

    12

    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    From the given equations,

    \((a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab+bc+ca)\)

    \((6)^2 = 14 + 2(ab+bc+ca)\)

    36 - 14 = 2(ab + bc + ca)
    22/2 = ab + bc + ca
    ab + bc + ca = 11

    \(a^3 + b^3 + c^3 -3ab = (a+b+c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab- bc-ca)\)

    = (6) (14 - 11)
    =(6)(3)
    =18

    Since,\(a^3 + b^3 + c^3 -3abc = 18 \)

    36 - 3abc = 18

    -3abc = 18 - 36

    -3abc = -18

    abc = 6.
