Correct Answer: 18
Solution : Given, $a+b=3$ and $a b=2$ Consider, $a+b=3$ Cubing both sides, $(a+b)^3 = 3^3$ ⇒ $a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a+b) = 27$ ⇒ $a^3 + b^3 + 3\times 2\times 3 = 27$ [Putting the given values] ⇒ $a^3 + b^3 + 18 = 27$ ⇒ $a^3 + b^3 = 9$ ⇒ The value of $2 a^3+2 b^3 = 2(a^3+b^3)$ = 2 × 9 = 18 Hence, the correct answer is 18.
