The value of 0.49+0.7×0.8+0.640.512−0.343{0.49+0.7 \times 0.8 + 0.64 \over 0.512 - 0.343} ​is: 

​

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 10.

a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)

Given, 0.49+0.7×0.8+0.640.512−0.343{0.49+0.7 \times 0.8 + 0.64 \over 0.512 - 0.343}

This is in the form of a2+a×b+b2a3−b3{a^2+a \times b + b^2 \over a^3 - b^3}.

⇒ (0.7)2+0.7×0.8+(0.8)20.83−0.73{(0.7)^2+0.7 \times 0.8 + (0.8)^2 \over 0.8^3 - 0.7^3} 

⇒  10.8−0.7{1 \over0.8 - 0.7} = 10
