Question:
Difference of two perfect cubes is” 189. If the cube root of the smaller of the two numbers is 3, then find the cube root of the larger number.
Solution:
Given different of two perfect cubes $=189$
and cube root of the smaller number $=3$
$\therefore$ Cube of smaller number $=(3)^{3}=27$
Let cube root of the larger number be $x$.
Then, cube of larger number $=x^{3}$
According to the question,
$x^{3}-27=189$
$\Rightarrow \quad x^{3}=189+27$
$\Rightarrow \quad x^{3}=216$
$\Rightarrow \quad x=\sqrt[3]{216}=\sqrt[3]{6 \times 6 \times 6}$
$\therefore$ $x=6$
Hence, the cube root of the larger number is 6 .
