If a + b = 5 and ab = 6, then what is the value of $$a^{3} + b^{3}$$ ?
Given :  $$ab=6$$ -----------(i)
Also, $$a+b=5$$ -----------(ii)
Cubing both sides, we get :
=> $$(a+b)^3=(5)^3$$
=> $$a^3+b^3+3ab(a+b)=125$$
Substituting values from equation (i) and (ii)
=> $$a^3+b^3+3(6)(5)=125$$
=> $$a^3+b^3=125-90=35$$
=> Ans - (C)
