Correct Answer: 20


Solution : Use identity: a 3 – b 3 = (a – b)(a 2 + ab + b 2 )
$\frac{120 \times 120 \times 120-100 \times 100 \times 100}{120 \times 120+120 \times 100+100 \times 100}$
= $\frac{(120 -100) (120 \times 120+120 \times 100+100 \times 100)}{120 \times 120+120 \times 100+100 \times 100}$
= $20$
Hence, the correct answer is 20.
