Assertion (A): If 2x - 3y = 10 and xy = 16, then value of - 27y3 + 8x3 = 3880.

Reason (R): x3 - y3 = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2).

  1. A is true, R is false.
  2. A is false, R is true.
  3. Both A and R are true.
  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

Both A and R are true.

Explanation

Given,

2x - 3y = 10

xy = 16

Cubing both sides of equation,

⇒ 2x - 3y = 10

⇒ (2x - 3y)3 = 103

⇒ (2x)3 - (3y)3 - 3 ×\times 2x ×\times 3y(2x - 3y) = 103

⇒ 8x3 - 27y3 - 18xy(2x - 3y) = 1000

⇒ 8x3 - 27y3 - 18 x 16 x 10 = 1000

⇒ 8x3 - 27y3 - 2880 = 1000

⇒ 8x3 - 27y3 = 1000 + 2880

⇒ 8x3 - 27y3 = 3880

Assertion (A) is true.

Given,

R.H.S. = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2)

= x(x2 + xy + y2) - y(x2 + xy + y2)

= x3 + x2y + xy2 - x2y - xy2 + y3

= x3 + y3

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Reason (R) is true.

Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true.
