What is the value of 14³ + 16³ + 18³ + ...+ 30³ ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 ie 111672.

14³ + 16³ + 18³ + ...+ 30³

= 8(7³ + 8³ + 9³ + ...+ 15³)

Sum of n cubes = 

n = 6 = [(6 × 7)/2]² = 441

n = 15 = [(15 × 16)/2]² = 14400

S = 8 × 13959 = 111672
