Correct Answer :

Option A

25

25

Solution :

The correct answer is 25.

To find the value of xyz, we can use standard algebraic identities.

We are given the following values:
1. x+y+z=11
2. xy+yz+zx=-6
3. x3+y3+z3=1604

First, recall the key algebraic identity relating the sum of cubes to the product of terms:
x3+y3+z3-3xyz=(x+y+z)(x2+y2+z2-(xy+yz+zx))

To evaluate the right-hand side of this identity, we first need to determine the value of x2+y2+z2. We can find this by squaring the sum x+y+z:
(x+y+z)2=x2+y2+z2+2(xy+yz+zx)

Rearranging this formula to solve for x2+y2+z2 gives:
x2+y2+z2=(x+y+z)2-2(xy+yz+zx)

Substitute the given values into the equation:
x2+y2+z2=(11)2-2(-6)
x2+y2+z2=121+12
x2+y2+z2=133

Now, substitute x2+y2+z2=133 and the other known values back into our main identity:
1604-3xyz=(11)(133-(-6))
1604-3xyz=11(133+6)
1604-3xyz=11(139)
1604-3xyz=1529

Rearrange the terms to solve for 3xyz:
3xyz=1604-1529
3xyz=75

Divide by 3 to find the final value of xyz:
xyz=25
