Correct Answer: 5364
Solution : Given: $a=299, b=298, c=297$ We know that the algebraic identity is $(a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc)=\frac{1}{2} \times(a+b+c)[(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2]$ $2a^3+2b^3+2c^3-6abc$ $=2(a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc)$ $=2\times\frac{1}{2} \times(a+b+c)[(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2]$ $=2\times\frac{1}{2} \times(299+298+297)[(299-298)^2+(298-297)^2+(297-299)^2]$ $=894[1^2+1^2+2^2]=894\times6$ $= 5364$ Hence, the correct answer is 5364.
