SSC CPO - 25 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q128

If x + y + z = 19, xyz = 216 and xy + yz + zx = 114, then the value of x3+y3+z3+xyz\sqrt{x^3+y^3+z^3+xyz} is :

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 35.

We know that,

x3 + y3 + z3 = (x + y + z)[(x+ y + z)2 - 3(xy + yz + zx) + 3xyz

According to the question

We have-

⇒ √(x3 + y3 + z3 + xyz)

⇒ √[(x + y + z){(x + y + z)2 - 3(xy + yz + zx)} + 3xyz + xyz]

⇒ √(19 × (192 - 3 × 114) + 4 × 216)

⇒ √(19(361 - 342) + 864)

⇒ √(19 × 19 + 864)

⇒ √(1225) = 35

The value of x3+y3+z3+xyz\sqrt{x^3+y^3+z^3+xyz} = 35
