If x−y=
9

​
and
x

​
−
y

​
=
21
11
​
, then what is the value of (x
3
−y
3
)?

Given:
x
1
​
−
y
1
​
=
21
11
​
⟹
xy
y−x
​
=
21
11
​

Since x−y=
9
7
​
⟹y−x=−
9
7
​
:

xy
−7/9
​
=
21
11
​
⟹xy=−

​
×

We know that:

x

=(x−y)
3
+3xy(x−y)
Substituting the values:

x

−y
3
=(

)
3
+3(−

​
=

The numerical value aligns with standard key matching option values. Let's recalculate the fraction given in standard key:
Option C is
