Correct Answer :

Option D

0

Solution :

The correct option is 0.

To determine the value of the algebraic expression m3+n3+o3-3mno, we can use a well-known algebraic identity:
m3+n3+o3-3mno=(m+n+o)(m2+n2+o2-mn-n-om)

We are given the following values:
1) m+n+o=15
2) mn+n+om=75

We first need to find the value of m2+n2+o2. We can find this by squaring the equation m+n+o=15:
(m+n+o)2=152

Expanding the left side of the equation, we get:
m2+n2+o2+2(mn+n+om)=225

Substitute the value of mn+n+om=75 into this expression:
m2+n2+o2+2(75)=225
m2+n2+o2+150=225
m2+n2+o2=225-150
m2+n2+o2=75

Now, we can substitute all the known values back into our original identity:
m3+n3+o3-3mno=(m+n+o)[(m2+n2+o2)-(mn+n+om)]
m3+n3+o3-3mno=15·(75-75)
m3+n3+o3-3mno=15·0
m3+n3+o3-3mno=0

Thus, the final evaluated value is indeed 0.
