If (15)3+(4)3(152+42−k)=19\frac{(15)^{3}+(4)^{3}}{(15^{2}+4^{2}-k)}=19, then what is the value of K?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60.

(15)3+(4)3(152+42−k)=19\frac{(15)^{3}+(4)^{3}}{(15^{2}+4^{2}-k)}=19

⇒ 3375+64(225+16−k)=19\frac{3375+64}{(225+16-k)}=19

⇒ 3439(241−k)=19\frac{3439}{(241-k)}=19

⇒ 4579 - 19k = 3439

⇒ 19k = 1140

⇒ k = 1140/19 = 60

Therefore, the value of k is 60.
