Correct Answer: 730


Solution : Given,
a 2 + b 2 = 82
ab = 9
We know,
(a + b) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2ab
⇒ (a + b) 2 = 82 + 2 × 9
⇒ (a + b) 2 = 100
⇒ (a + b) = 10
Now,
(a + b) 3 = a 3 + b 3 + 3ab(a + b)
⇒ (10) 3 = a 3 + b 3 + 3 × 9 × 10
⇒ 1000 = a 3 + b 3 + 270
$\therefore$ a 3 + b 3 = 1000 – 270 = 730
Hence, the correct answer is 730.
