Question

Simplify: \(\dfrac{{(0.5)^3 + (0.05)^3 + (0.005)^3}}{{(0.1)^3 + (0.01)^3 + (0.001)^3}}\)

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

125

Note that \(0.5 = 5 \times 0.1,\ 0.05 = 5 \times 0.01,\ 0.005 = 5 \times 0.001\).

\(\text{{Numerator}} = (5 \times 0.1)^3 + (5 \times 0.01)^3 + (5 \times 0.001)^3 = 5^3[(0.1)^3 + (0.01)^3 + (0.001)^3]\)

\(\dfrac{{5^3 \cdot [(0.1)^3+(0.01)^3+(0.001)^3]}}{{(0.1)^3+(0.01)^3+(0.001)^3}} = 5^3 = \mathbf{{125}}\)
