If x = a - b, y = b - c, z = c - a, then the numerical value of the algebraic expression x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz will be?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& x = a - b \cr
& y = b - c \cr
& z = c - a \cr
& \therefore x + y + z \cr
& = a - b + b - c + c - a \cr
& = 0 \cr
& \therefore {x^3} + {y^3} + {z^3} - 3xyz \cr
& = \left( {x + y + z} \right)\left( {{\text{ }}{x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} - xy - zx - yz} \right) \cr
& = \left( 0 \right)\left( {{\text{ }}{x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} - xy - zx - yz} \right) \cr
& = 0 \cr} $$
