Given Expression = (.53)³ - (.42)³- 3 x .58 x .42 x (.58-.42)= a³-b³ -3ab(a - b) = (a - b)³(where a = .58 and b=.42)= (.58 - .42 )³ = .16 x .16 x .16 = 0.004096
Let the total length of pencil = L cm Then, black part = L/8∴ Remaining part = L - L/8 = 7L/ 8 and White part = (7L/8)/2 = 7L/8∴ Remaining part = L - (L/8 + 7L/16) = 7L/16∴ length of blue part = 7L/16According to the question, 7L/16 = 31/2⇒ 7L/16 = 7/2 ∴ L =8
