Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5220\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because(3+\sqrt{2})^6-(3-\sqrt{2})^6=a+b \sqrt{2}\) ...(i) \(\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } x=3+\sqrt{2} \text { and } y=3-\sqrt{2} \\ & x^2+y^2=9+2+6 \sqrt{2}+9+2-6 \sqrt{2}=22 \\ & x^3+y^3=(3+\sqrt{2})^3+(3-\sqrt{2})^3\end{aligned}\)…
