Sol:

Q24. Given, 3𝑎 + 2𝑏 = 5𝑐, find the value of 27𝑎3 + 8𝑏3 − 125𝑐 3 if 𝑎𝑏𝑐 = 0. [4]
Sol: Given 3𝑎 + 2𝑏 = 5𝑐
Cubing both sides
(3𝑎 + 2𝑏)3 = (5𝑐)3
⇒ (3𝑎)3 + (2𝑏)3 + 3(3𝑎)(2𝑏)(3𝑎 + 2𝑏) = 125𝑐 3
⇒ 27𝑎3 + 8𝑏3 + 18𝑎𝑏(3𝑎 + 2𝑏) = 125𝑐 3
⇒ 27𝑎3 + 8𝑏3 + 90𝑎𝑏𝑐 = 125𝑐 3
Since 𝑎𝑏𝑐 = 0
∴ 27𝑎3 + 8𝑏3 + 90 × 0 = 125𝑐 3
⇒ 27𝑎3 + 8𝑏3 − 125𝑐 3 = 0
