- Cube of a negative number is always positive.
- Cube of a negative number is always negative.
- Cube of a negative number may be positive or negative.
- All of the above
Hint:
Cube of a number = Number multiplied by itself 3 times.
i.e. x3 = x * x * x
The correct answer is: Cube of a negative number is always negative.
TO FIND-
Nature of a cube of a negative number.
SOLUTION-

Alternatively, the question can be solved by multiply numbers in each of the options given and then check whether the resultant number is a perfect square or not-
a. 5
1008 * 5 = 5040
We know that 5040 is not a perfect square because √5040 = 12√35.
b. 2
1008 * 2 = 2016
We know that 2016 is not a perfect square because √2016 = 12√14.
c. 7
1008 * 7 = 7056
We know that 7056 is a perfect square because √7056 = 84.
d. 8
1008 * 8 = 8064
We know that 8064 is not a perfect square because √8064 = 24√14.
FINAL ANSWER REMAINS THE SAME.
