MCQ
Write the correct answer in the following: If $a + b + c = 0,$ then $a^3 + b^3 + c^3$ is equal to.
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $abc$
  • C
    $3\ abc$
  • $2\ abc$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$2\ abc$

Now, $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - be - ca) + 3abc$
$[$Using identity, $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - be - ca)] = 0 + 3abc$
$\therefore a + b + c = 0,$ given$a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc$
