Option 1: –119
Option 2: –129
Option 3: 119
Option 4: 129
Correct Answer: 119
Solution : $\frac{4\left[(17)^3-(7)^3\right]}{\left(17^2+7^2+p\right)}=40$ We know that, $(a^3-b^3)=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)$ ⇒ $\frac{\left(17-7)\right(17^2+17\times 7+7^2)}{\left(17^2+7^2+p\right)}=10$ ⇒ $\frac{10(17^2+17\times 7+7^2)}{\left(17^2+7^2+p\right)}=10$ ⇒ $\frac{(17^2+17\times 7+7^2)}{\left(17^2+7^2+p\right)}=1$ ⇒ $17^2+17\times 7+7^2=17^2+7^2+p$ $\therefore p=17\times7=119$ Hence, the correct answer is 119.
