If H and L are the HCF and LCM respectively of two numbers x and y, and H + L = x + y, then value of H3 + L3 is? |
x3 - y3 x3 y3 x3 + y3 |
x3 + y3 |
Here, HCF × LCM = x × y ⇒ H × L = x × y ..............(i) and ATQ, H + L = x + y .............(ii) Cubing both side, we get ⇒ H3 + L3 + 3HL (H + L) = x3 + y3 + 3xy (x + y) ⇒ H3 + L3 + 3xy (x + y) = x3 + y3 + 3xy (x + y) [From (i) & (ii)] ⇒ H3 + L3 = x3 + y3 |
