    If \[{{x}^{1/3}}+{{y}^{1/3}}-{{z}^{1/3}}=0,\]then \[\{{{(x+y+z)}^{3}}+27xyz\}\]is equal to                                   [SSC (CPO) 2007]

    A) \[-1\]                            

    B) \[1\]

    C) \[0\]     

    D) \[27\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{x}^{1/3}}+{{y}^{1/3}}-{{z}^{1/3}}=0\]
    \[{{x}^{1/3}}+{{y}^{1/3}}={{z}^{1/3}}\]
    On cubing both sides, we get
    \[{{({{x}^{1/3}}+{{y}^{1/3}})}^{3}}={{z}^{1/3\,\,\times \,\,3}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[x+y+3{{x}^{1/3}}\cdot {{y}^{1/3}}({{x}^{1/3}}+{{y}^{1/3}})=z\]\[[\because {{(a+b)}^{3}}={{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+3ab\,\,(a+b)]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[x+y-z=3\cdot {{x}^{1/3}}\cdot {{y}^{1/3}}\cdot {{z}^{1/3}}\]                       … (i)
    Now, \[{{(x+y-z)}^{3}}+27xyz\]
    \[={{(-\,\,3{{x}^{1/3}}\cdot {{y}^{1/3}}\cdot {{z}^{1/3}})}^{3}}+27xyz\]   [from Eq. (i)]
    \[=-\,\,27xyz+27xyz=0\]
