    If \[m+n=-\,2,\]then the value of\[{{m}^{3}}+{{n}^{3}}-6\,\,mn\]is

    A) \[8\]                             

    B) \[4\]

    C) \[-\,\,8\]

    D) \[-\,\,4\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{m}^{3}}+{{n}^{3}}-6\,\,mn\]
    \[=(m+n)({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}-mn)-6mn\]
    \[=(-\,\,2)({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}-mn)-6mn\]
    \[=-\,2{{m}^{2}}-2{{n}^{2}}+2mn-6mn\]
    \[=-\,\,2\,\,({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}+2mn)\]
    \[=-\,2\,\,{{(m+n)}^{2}}\]
    \[=-\,2\,\,{{(-\,2)}^{2}}=-\,2\times 4=-\,8\]
