Assertion (A): 53 - 33 - 23 = 3 x 5 x -3 x -2

Reason (R): ∵ 5 - 3 - 2 = 0

⇒ 53 - 33 - 23 = 53 + (-3)3 + (-2)3

  1. A is true, but R is false.

  2. A is false, but R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

  4. Both A and R are true, and R is the incorrect reason for A.

Answer

By property,

If a + b + c = 0, then

⇒ a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc

Given,

⇒ 53 - 33 - 23

⇒ 53 + (-3)3 + (-2)3

Let a = 5, b = -3 and c = -2.

∴ a + b + c = 5 + (-3) + (-2) = 5 - 3 - 2 = 0

⇒ a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc

⇒ 53 + (-3)3 + (-2)3 = 3 × 5 × (-3) × (-2)

∴ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
