Given:

Simplify the following expression:

\(\dfrac{(8.25)^3-3 \times(8.25)^2 \times 0.25+24.75 \times(0.25)^2-(0.25)^3}{4 \times 4 \times 4}\)

Formula used:

(a - b)3 = a3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 - b3

Calculation:

\(\dfrac{(8.25)^3-3 \times(8.25)^2 \times 0.25+24.75 \times(0.25)^2-(0.25)^3}{4 \times 4 \times 4}\)

Let a = 8.25 and b = 0.25

⇒ a3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 - b3 = (8.25 - 0.25)3

(8.25 - 0.25)3 = 83

⇒ 83 = 512

⇒ \(\dfrac{512}{4 \times 4 \times 4}\)

⇒ \(\dfrac{512}{64}\)

⇒ 8

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
