SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 12/09/2019 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q66

If 8x³ - 27y³ = (Ax + By)(Cx² - Dy² + 6xy), then (A + B + C - D) is equal to ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 12.

(2x)³ - (3y)³ =  (Ax + By)(Cx² - Dy² + 6xy)

= (2x - 3y) (4x² + 9y² - 6xy)

A = 2, B = -3, C = 4, D = -9

(A + B + C - D) = (2 - 3 + 4 + 9)

                         = 12
