2^3 = 8 even
3^3 = 27 odd
4^3 = 64 even
5^3 = 125 odd
6^3 = 216 even
7^3 = 343 odd.
All are expected 100. So, the answer is 100b because it's no cube.
3^3 = 27 odd
4^3 = 64 even
5^3 = 125 odd
6^3 = 216 even
7^3 = 343 odd.
All are expected 100. So, the answer is 100b because it's no cube.

@Poornima.
You are right. Why can't we consider 343 as an answer guys?
Because that is the only prime no given there, right?

We can do this problem by another method also. See the sequence. If you remove 100 then you can see continuous even odd sequence.
8=even.
27=odd.
64=even.
125=odd.
216=even.
343=odd.
If you see that there will continuous even, odd sequence. Since 100 comes next to 64. Definitely it is an wrong no.
8=even.
27=odd.

125=odd.

8,27,64,100,125,216,343.
2^3 3^3 4^3 5^3 6^3 7^3 .
100 = 10^2.
2^3 3^3 4^3 5^3 6^3 7^3 .
100 = 10^2.
