Statement 1: Cubes of all odd natural numbers are odd.

Statement 2: Cubes of negative integers are positive or negative integers.

Which of the following options is correct?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

An odd number can be represented as 2n + 1, where n is an integer.

Cube of odd number = (2n + 1)3

⇒ (2n)3 + 13 + 3 x 2n x 1 x (2n + 1)

⇒ 8n3 + 1 + 6n(2n + 1)

⇒ 8n3 + 1 + 12n2 + 6n

⇒ 8n3 + 12n2 + 6n + 1 ........(1)

If any no. odd or even is multiplied by an even number it becomes an even number.

Since, 8, 12 and 6 are even numbers so first three terms of equation (1) are even, and adding 1 at the end ensures the result is odd.

So, statement 1 is true.

Let's take some negative number, -2 and -3.

Cube of -2 = (-2)3 = -8

Cube of -3 = (-3)3 = -27

The cube of a negative integer is always a negative integer.

So, statement 2 is false.

Assertion (A) : The smallest number by which 1323 may be multiplied so that the product is a perfect cube of 7.

Reason (R) : A given natural number is a perfect cube if in its prime factorization every prime occurs three times.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Prime Factorization of 1323 = (3 x 3 x 3) x 7 x 7 = 33 x 72

On multiplying by 1323 by 7, we get :

⇒ 1323 x 7 = (3 x 3 x 3) x 7 x 7 x 7

⇒ 1323 x 7 = 33 x 73

⇒ 1323 x 7 = (3 x 7)3

⇒ 1323 x 7 = 213

∴ On multiplying 1323 by 7, it becomes a perfect cube.

So, assertion (A) is true.

In the prime factorization of a perfect cube, each prime must appear with an exponent that is a multiple of 3, it is not necessary that every prime number occurs only three times.

So, reason (R) is false.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
