      Question

      If (x – 12)3Β + (x – 5)3Β + (x

      – 7)3Β = 3(x – 12)(x – 5)(x – 7) then find the value of (x2Β + 5x + 12)Β 
      A 88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 102 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 116 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let a = (x – 12), b = (x – 5) and c = (x – 9) According to the question, a3Β + b3Β + c3Β = 3abc Therefore, a + b + c =0 Or, x – 12 + x – 5 + x – 7 = 0 Or, 3x = 24 Or, x = 8 Therefore, x2Β + 5x + 3 = 82Β + 5 Γ— 8 + 12 = 116
