Solution : $(x+y)^3+8(x-y)^3=(3 x+A y)\left(3 x^2+B x y+C y^2\right)$ Taking L.H.S. $(x+y)^3+8(x-y)^3$ $=(x+y)^3+[2(x-y)]^3$ Using identity, $a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$ $=[x+y+2(x-y)][(x+y)^2-2(x+y)(x-y)+[2(x-y)]^2]$ $=(3x-y)[(x^2+y^2+2xy) -2(x^2-y^2)+[4(x^2+y^2-2xy]]$ $=(3x-y)[x^2+y^2+2xy -2x^2+2y^2+4x^2+4y^2-8xy]$ $=(3x-y)(3x^2 -6xy+7y^2)$ On comparing the coefficient with R.H.S., we get, ⇒ A = –1 ⇒ B = –6 ⇒ C = 7 $\therefore$ (A + B + C) = – 1 – 6 + 7 = 0 Hence, the correct answer is 0.
