We need to find Which of the following is NOT equal to the cube of an integer
(A) 2^7 − 3 = 125 = \(5^3\) => Cube of an Integer
(B) 6√16 + 3 = 6*4 + 3 = 27 = \(3^3\) => Cube of an Integer
(C) 3^3 × 3 = 81 => \(3^4\) => NOT a Cube of an Integer
In Test we don't need to solve further, but I am solving to complete the solution.
(D) √25 + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8 = \(2^3\) => Cube of an Integer
(E) 2^2 − 3 = 4 - 3 = 1 = \(1^3\) => Cube of an Integer
So, Answer will be C
Hope it helps!
