Let the two numbers be x and y.
So,
x - y = 5
And,
xy = 14
Using the formula,
[∵ (x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y)]
So,
⇒ (x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y)
Putting the value (x - y) = 5 and xy = 14, we get
⇒ (5)3 = x3 - y3 - 3 14 5
⇒ 125 = x3 - y3 - 210
⇒ x3 - y3 = 125 + 210
⇒ x3 - y3 = 335
Hence, the difference between their cubes is 335.
