Which is the correct factorised form of 27p³ − 8q³?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3p − 2q)(9p² + 6pq + 4q²)

Correct answer: A. Rewrite the expression as (3p)³ − (2q)³ because (3p)³ = 27p³ and (2q)³ = 8q³. The difference-of-cubes identity is a³ − b³ = (a − b)(a² + ab + b²). Substituting a = 3p and b = 2q gives (3p − 2q)(9p² + 6pq + 4q²). Option A follows the identity exactly. Option B has a plus in the first factor, which would correspond to a sum of cubes, and its signs do not reproduce the original expression. Option C does not use the cube roots as the first factor and does not expand correctly. Option D has the wrong sign in the middle term of the second factor; expansion would produce an incorrect cross term. Memory cue: for a³ − b³, signs are minus, plus, plus.
