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.

Q:

Solve the value of D?

Answer

A + B = 15 .... (1)


B x C = 84 .... (2)


C ÷ 4 = 3  .... (3)


B + D = 18 .... (4)


From (3), we get C = 12


From (2), we get B = 84/12 = 7


From (1), we get A = 15 - 7 = 8


From (4), we get D = 18 - 7 = 11


 


Hence, D = 11.
