    A 6048 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5616 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6024 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5832 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) ³ = x³ + y³ + 3xy x (x + y) x³ + y³ = (x + y) ³ -3xy × (x + y) = (24)3 - 3 x 108 x 24 =13824-7776 = 6048
