Given:

Expression: \(\dfrac{(2.3)^3+(15.9)^3+(3.7)^3-3 \times 2.3 \times 15.9 \times 3.7}{(2.3)^2+(15.9)^2+(3.7)^2-2.3 \times 15.9-15.9 \times 3.7-3.7 \times 2.3}\)

Formula used:

For any real numbers a, b, and c:

a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)

Calculation:

Given expression: \(\dfrac{(2.3)^3+(15.9)^3+(3.7)^3-3 \times 2.3 \times 15.9 \times 3.7}{(2.3)^2+(15.9)^2+(3.7)^2-2.3 \times 15.9-15.9 \times 3.7-3.7 \times 2.3}\)

Using the formula:

⇒ \(\dfrac{(2.3 + 15.9 + 3.7)(2.3^2 + 15.9^2 + 3.7^2 - 2.3 \times 15.9 - 15.9 \times 3.7 - 3.7 \times 2.3)}{(2.3^2 + 15.9^2 + 3.7^2 - 2.3 \times 15.9 - 15.9 \times 3.7 - 3.7 \times 2.3)}\)

⇒ \(\dfrac{(2.3 + 15.9 + 3.7)}{1}\)

⇒ 2.3 + 15.9 + 3.7

⇒ 21.9

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
