Question

Evaluate \(21^3 + (-2)^3 + (-19)^3\)

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

2394

Let \(a = 21\), \(b = -2\) and \(c = -19\). Notice that \(a + b + c = 21 - 2 - 19 = 0\).

When \(a + b + c = 0\), the identity \(a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc\) holds.

So \(a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3 \times 21 \times (-2) \times (-19)\).

First, \((-2) \times (-19) = 38\), then \(21 \times 38 = 798\).

Therefore \(3 \times 798 = 2394\).

Hence, the value of the expression is 2394.
