10. (a) 14. (d)

Given, that, (ab + bc + ac) = 0 ............ (1) We have, xy = 6
& x²y + xy² + x + y = 63.

a ² – b c b ² – ac c ² – ab
7(x + y) = 63
From equation (1)
x + y = 9.
1 1 1 Now, x² + y² = (x + y)² – 2xy = 81 – 12 = 69.

We know that,

= a (a  b  c )  b(a  b  c )  c(a  b  c)
So, x³ + (3y)³ + (4z)³ – 3 × x × 3y × 4z
1 (ab  bc  ca ) = (x + 3y + 4z) (x² + 9y² + 16z² – 3xy – 12yz – 4xz)

We know that

We know that,

On comparing both side–
