    Question

    If x3 + y3 + z3 =

    3(1 + xyz), P = y + z – x, Q = z + x – y and R = x + y – z, then what is the value of P3 + Q3 + R3– 3PQR?
    A 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    P = y + z – x, Q = z + x – y and R = x + y – z And x3 + y3 + z3 = 3(1 + xyz); Suppose x = y = 0 then z3 = 3; P = z, Q = z and R = -z; Putting these values in below equation P3 + Q3 + R3 - 3PQR = z3 + z3 - z3 + 3z3 => 4z3 Putting z3 = 3: P3 + Q3 + R3 - 3PQR = 12
