    I f\[a+b+c=11\] and \[ab+bc+ac=20,\] then the value of the expression \[{{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+{{c}^{3}}-3\,\,abc\] will be

    A)  75

    B)  65  

    C)  60

    D)  81

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As we know, \[{{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+{{c}^{3}}-3abc\] \[=(a+b+c)({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-ab-bc-ac)\]     ?(i) and       \[{{(a+b+c)}^{2}}={{11}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}+2\,\,(ab+bc+ac)=121\] \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}+2\times 20=121\] \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}+40=121\] \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}=121-40=81\]
