Correct Answer: 4


Solution : Given:
x 2 + x 3 + (x + 1) 3 = 205

By using the above equation let's check the option –
First option: 3; 3 2 + 3 3 + (3 + 1) 3 = 9 + 27 + 64 = 100 ≠ 205
Second option: 5; 5 2 + 5 3 + (5 + 1) 3 = 25 + 125 + 216 = 366 ≠ 205
Third option: 4; 4 2 + 4 3 + (4 + 1) 3 = 16 + 64 + 125 = 205
Fourth option: 6; 6 2 + 6 3 + (6 + 1) 3 = 36 + 216 + 343 = 595 ≠ 205

So, the sum of the 4's square, its cube, and its next number's cube is 205. Hence, the third option is correct;
