Correct Answer: –53
Solution : Given: $a + b + c = 1$ $ab + bc + ca = -22$ $abc = -40$ Using the below equation: $a^3+b^3+c^3−3abc=(a+b+c)[(a+b+c)^2−3(ab+bc+ca)]$ $⇒a^3+b^3+c^3−3abc = (1)[(1)^2 - 3(-22)]$ $⇒a^3+b^3+c^3−3abc = 67$ $⇒a^3+b^3+c^3 = 3abc + 67$ $⇒a^3+b^3+c^3 = 3(-40) + 67$ $⇒a^3+b^3+c^3 = -53$ Hence, the correct answer is –53.
