    B 1216 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1468 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, the two numbers be 'a' and 'b', such that, a > b.

    ATQ,

    a2┬а+ b2┬а= 250

    a - b = 4

    (a - b)┬а2┬а= a2┬а+ b2┬а+ 2 X a X b

    Or, 42┬а= 250 + 2 X a X b

    Or, 2 X a X b = 250 - 16 = 234

    Or, a X b = 117

    a3┬а- b3┬а= (a - b) X (a2┬а+ b2┬а+ ab)

    Or, a3┬а- b3┬а= 4 X (250 + 117) = 4 X 367 = 1,468
