Given Data:

a + b + c = 0

Formula Used:

a3+ b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a+b+c)( a2+ b2+c2 −ab−bc–ca)

Calculation:

According to the formula,

a³+ b³ + c³ – 3abc = (a + b + c)( a² + b² + c² − ab − bc – ca)

But (a+b+c) = 0

⇒ a³+ b³ + c³ – 3abc = 0

⇒ a³+ b³ + c³ = 3abc

∴ a³ + b³ + c³ is 3abc.

We have to follow the BODMAS rule

Calculation:
100 – [10 + {10 – (20 – 15)}] = ?
⇒ 100 – [10 + { 10 – 5}] = ?
⇒ 100 – [10 + 5] = ?
⇒ 100 – 15 = ?
⇒ 85 = ?

∴ The value of '?' is 85

Key Points

• Replace ‘an’ with ‘a’.
• When / if the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between “a” and “an” depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immediately follows the article.

The correct sentence: Nationalism, which is a European invention, was also exported to the rest of the world.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Logic:
Column wise → [{(First no.) × (Second no.)} + (First no.)] = Third Number
First column → [{(1) × (2)} + 1] = 3
Second column → [{(7) × (14)} + 7] = 105
Similarly,
Third column → [{(9) × (12)} + 9] = 117
Here, the missing number is '12'.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (A)".
