Q:

Solve the following equations and find the value of abc?

 

A) 3 B) 6
C) 9 D) 12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6

Explanation:

From the given equations,

(a+b+c)2=a2+b2+c2+2(ab+bc+ca)
(6)2=14 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
36 - 14 = 2(ab + bc + ca)
22/2 = ab + bc + ca
ab + bc + ca = 11

a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)
= (6) (14 - 11)
=(6)(3)
=18

Since, a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = 18

36 - 3abc = 18

-3abc = 18 - 36

-3abc = -18

abc = 6.
