The value of  is: (157×157)+(157×133)+(133×133)(157×157×157)−(133×133×133)\frac{(157\times157)+(157\times133)+(133\times133)}{(157\times157\times157)-(133\times133\times133)}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e.  124\frac{1}{24}

Given that

(157×157)+(157×133)+(133×133)(157×157×157)−(133×133×133)\frac{(157\times157)+(157\times133)+(133\times133)}{(157\times157\times157)-(133\times133\times133)}

⇒ (157×157)+(157×133)+(133×133)(157×157×157)−(133×133×133)\frac{(157\times157)+(157\times133)+(133\times133)}{(157\times157\times157)-(133\times133\times133)}

As we know,

⇒ a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 – ab + b2)

⇒ (157×157)+(157×133)+(133×133)(157−133)((157×157)+(157×133)+(133×133))\frac{(157\times157)+(157\times133)+(133\times133)}{(157-133)((157\times157)+(157\times133)+(133\times133))}

⇒ 1(157−133)\frac{1}{(157 - 133)}

⇒ 124\frac{1}{24}
