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,

$(a + b + c)^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + 2 (ab + bc + ca)$
${(6)}^{2} = 14 + 2 (ab + bc + ca)$
36 - 14 = 2(ab + bc + ca)
22/2 = ab + bc + ca
ab + bc + ca = 11

$a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3 abc = (a + b + c) (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - ab - bc - ca)$
= (6) (14 - 11)
=(6)(3)
=18

Since, $a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3 abc = 18$

36 - 3abc = 18

-3abc = 18 - 36

-3abc = -18

abc = 6.
