Easy enough, basic arithmetic
D is the correct option
D = 49 + 25 = 74 --> Not a perfect cube

Bunuel
Which of the following is NOT equal to the cube of an integer?

(A) \(0^2 + −1^2\)
(B) \(3^2 − 1^2\)
(C) \(6^2 − 3^2\)
(D) \(7^2 + 5^2\)
(E) \(10^2 + 5^2\)

(A) \(0^2 + −1^2\) = -1 = [m-]1^3[/m]

(B) \(3^2 − 1^2\) = 8 = \(2^3\)

(C) \(6^2 − 3^2\) = 36 - 9 = 27 =\( 3^3\)

(D) \(7^2 + 5^2\) = 49 + 25 = 74

(E) \(10^2 + 5^2\) = 100 + 25 = 125 = \(5^3\)


Apparently, the answer is D
