Options
- A1241
- B1512
- C1072
- D1729
Correct answer
D. 1729
Step-by-step solution
Given: a =(2 x+y) i +3 j +9 k b =2 i + j -(x-y) k a and b are co-linear vectors 2 x+y 2 = 3 1 = 9 -(x-y) 2 x+y 2 = 3 1 2 x+y=6 ...(i) and 3 1 = 9 y-x y-x=3 ...(ii) Solving eqns. (i) and (ii), we get x=1 and y=4 Now, x^3+27 y^3=1+27 64=1729 .
