MCQ 71 Mark
Statement-1 $(A)$ : The product of $\left(x^2+4 y^2+z^2+2 x y+x z-2 y z\right)$ and $(-z+x-2 y)$ is $x^3-8 y^3-z^3-6 x y z$
Statement-2 $(R): \quad a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c=(a+b+c)\left(a^2+b^2+c^2-a b-b c-c a\right)$
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-5
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
A. Statement-2 is true, being a standard formula.
Now,
$(-z+x-2 y)\left(x^2+4 y^2+z^2+2 x y+x z-2 y z\right)$
$=\{x+(-2 y)+(-z)\}\left\{x^2+(-2 y)^2+(-z)^2-x(-2 y)-(-2 y)(-z)-x(-z)\right\}$
$=x^3+(-2 y)^3+(-z)^3-3 x(-2 y)(-z)$ [Using statement-2]
$=x^3-8 y^3-z^3-6 x y z$
So, statement-1 is true. Also, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.
Hence, option (a) is correct.

MCQ 81 Mark
Statement-1 $(A): \quad(a+b+c)\left\{(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2\right\}=2\left(a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c\right)$
Statement-2 (R): If $a+b+c=0$ then $(a+b)^3+(b+c)^3+(c+a)^3=-3 a b c$
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-4
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
B.
$
\begin{aligned}
\text {} & (a+b+c)\left\{(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2\right\} \\
& =2(a+b+c)\left(a^2+b^2+c^2-a b-b c-c a\right)=2\left(a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c\right)
\end{aligned}
$
So, statement- 1 is true.
If $a+b+c=0$, then.
$
\begin{array}{ll}
& 2(a+b+c)=0 \\
\Rightarrow & (a+b)+(b+c)+(c+a)=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad & (a+b)^3+(b+c)^3+(c+a)^3=3(a+b)(b+c)(c+a) \\
\Rightarrow \quad & (a+b)^3+(b+c)^3+(c+a)^3=3(-c)(-a)(-b)=-3 a b c
\end{array}
$
So, statement-2 is also true. Hence, option (b) is true.

MCQ 91 Mark
Statement-1(A): $\quad a^3(b-c)^3+b^3(c-a)^3+c^3(a-b)^3=3(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)$
Statement-2 $(R)$ : If $a+b \div c=0$, then $a^3+b^3+c^3=3 a b c$
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-3
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
D. Statement-2 is true.
We observe that $a(b-c)+b(c-a)+c(a-b)=0$$
\therefore \quad a^3(b-c)^3+b^3(c-a)^3+c^3(a-b)^3=3 a b c(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)
$
So, statement-1 is not true. Hence, option (d) is correct.

MCQ 101 Mark
Statement-1 $(A)$ : The value of $\frac{(0.093)^3+(0.007)^3}{(0.093)^2-(0.093)(0.007)+(0.007)^2}$ is 0.1.
Statement-2 (R): $\quad a^3+b^3=(a+b)\left(a^2-a b+b^2\right)$.
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-2
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
A. We observe that statement-2 is true.
Now, $\quad a^3+b^3=(a+b)\left(a^2-a b+b^2\right) \Rightarrow \frac{a^3+b^3}{a^2-a b+b^2}=a+b$
Replacing a by 0.093 and $b$ by 0.007 , we obtain
$
\frac{(0.093)^3+(0.07)^3}{(0.093)^2-(0.093)(0.07)+(0.07)^2}=0.093+0.07=0.1
$
So, statement-2 is also true and statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1. Hence, option (a) is correct.

MCQ 111 Mark
Statement-1 (A): The value of $1000^3-900^3-100^3$ is $270,000,000$
Statement-2 (R): If $a+b+c=0$, then $a^3+b^3+c^3=3 a b c$
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Answer
A. We know that$
a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c=(a+b+c)\left(a^2+b^2+c^2-a b-b c-c a\right)
$
If $a+b+c=0$, then
$\begin{aligned} & a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c=0 \times\left(a^2+b^2+c^2-a b-b c-c a\right) \\ \Rightarrow \quad & a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c=0 \Rightarrow a^3+b^3+c^3=3 a b c\end{aligned}$
So, statement-2 is true. We find that: $1000+(-900)+(-100)=0$
Using statement-2, we obtain$
\begin{array}{ll}
& 1000^3+(-900)^3+(-100)^3=3 \times 1000 \times(-900) \times(-100) \\
\Rightarrow \quad & 1000^3-900^3-100^3=270,000,000
\end{array}
$
So, statement- 1 is also true.
We find that statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement- 1 . Hence, option (a) is correct.
