Correct Answer: 35
Solution : Given, $(p - q) = 6,$ $(r - q) = 5$ and $(r - p) = 3$ We know, $p^3 + q^3 + r^3 - 3pqr = (p + q + r)(p^2 + q^2+ r^2 - pq - pr - qr)$ $⇒\frac{p^3+q^3+r^3-3 p q r}{p+q+r} =\frac{(p + q + r)(p^2 + q^2+ r^2 - pq - pr - qr)}{p+q+r}$ $⇒\frac{p^3+q^3+r^3-3 p q r}{p+q+r} =p^2+q^2+r^2-pq-pr-qr$ $=\frac{1}{2}(2p^2+2q^2+2r^2-2pq-2pr-2qr)$ $=\frac{1}{2}[(p-q)^2+(q-r)^2+(r-p)^2]$ $=\frac{1}{2}[6^2+5^2+3^2]$ $=\frac{1}{2}[36+25+9]$ $=35$ Hence, the correct answer is 35.
