If x + y + z = 11, x2 + y2 + z2 = 133 and x3 + y3 + z3 = 881, then the value of
is ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 ie -6.
x + y + z = 11 eq 1
x2 + y2 + z2 = 133 eq 2
x3 + y3 + z3 = 881 eq 3
Lets assume
[x = ±4, y = ±6, z = 9]
Putting in eq 1
We get the combination as:
[x = -4, y = 6, z = 9]

= -6
