      B 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      1st natural number = x 2nd natural number = y (x - y)3 = 1728 (x - y) = 3√1728 = 12 squaring both sides   (x - y) ² = 144 x2+y2-2xy =144 x² + y² = 144 + 216 = 360 Now, (x + y) = √ (x² + y² + 2xy) =√ (360 + 216) = √576 = 24 X+y=24.
