    If \[m-5n=2,\] then the value of\[({{m}^{3}}-125{{n}^{3}}-30\,\,mn)\]is                         [SSC (CGL) 2015]

    A) 6                                 

    B) 7

    C) 8         

    D) 9

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given,   \[m-5n=2\]                    ... (i)
    On cubing both sides, we get
    \[{{(m-5n)}^{3}}={{(2)}^{3}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{m}^{3}}-125{{n}^{3}}-3\,\,(m)(5n)(m-5n)=8\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{m}^{3}}-125{{n}^{3}}-15mn\,\,(2)=8\]        [from Eq, (i)]
                \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{m}^{3}}-125{{n}^{3}}-30mn=8\]
