Statement 2: Cubes of negative integers are positive or negative integers.
Which of the following options is correct?
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)

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.
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.
Assertion (A) : $\sqrt[3]{4\frac{12}{125}} = 1\frac{3}{5}$
Reason (R) : If p and q are two whole numbers (p ≠ 0), then $\sqrt[3]{\frac{p}{q}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]p}{\sqrt[3]q}$.
If p and q are two whole numbers (p ≠ 0), then $\sqrt[3]{\frac{p}{q}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]p}{\sqrt[3]q}$.
This is a fundamental property of radicals.
So, reason (R) is true.
Solving,
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{4\frac{12}{125}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{\frac{4 \times 125 + 12}{125}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{\frac{500 + 12}{125}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{\frac{512}{125}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt[3]{512}}{\sqrt[3]{125}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{8}{5}\\[1em] \Rightarrow 1\frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$$
So, assertion (A) is true and reason (R) clearly explains assertion.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
Assertion (A) : $\sqrt[3]{-125} = \pm 25$
Reason (R) : The cube root of a negative perfect cube is negative.
⇒ -125 = -5 x -5 x -5
⇒ -125 = (-5)3
⇒ $\sqrt[3]{-125} = -5$.
So, assertion (A) is false.
We know that,
The cube root of a negative perfect cube is always a negative number.
So, reason (R) is true.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
Assertion (A) : $\sqrt[3]{968} \times \sqrt[3]{1375} = 110$
Reason (R) : If p and q are two whole numbers, then $\sqrt[3]{p} \times \sqrt[3]{q} = \sqrt[3]{pq}$.
If p and q are two whole numbers, then $\sqrt[3]{p} \times \sqrt[3]{q} = \sqrt[3]{p \times q} = \sqrt[3]{pq}$.
So, reason (R) is true.
Solving,
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{968} \times \sqrt[3]{1375} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{968 \times 1375}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{1331000}\\[1em] \Rightarrow 110.\end{aligned}$$
