what is the value of x^3 - y^3?
1. x^6 - y^6 = 0
2. y=0
if we take option 1. we get x^6=y^6, which gives x=y so that gives x^3 - y^3 = 0
and if we take 2. we get x^3, which is insufficient
according to me, using 1 alone we can answer this question but my guide says that he answer is C, ie the you can get the answer by taking both 1 and 2 together but not from 1 and 2 alone
please explain?
