Given:

(1st natural number - 2nd natural number)3 = 1728

1st natural number × 2nd natural number = 108

Formula used:

(A - B)3 = A3 - B3 - 3AB × (A - B)

Calculation:

Let 1st natural number = A

2nd natural number = B

(A - B)3 = 1728

⇒ (A - B) = 3√1728 = 12

A3 - B3 = (A - B)3 + 3AB × (A - B)

⇒ 1728 + 3 × 108 × 12

⇒ 1728 + 3 × 108 × 12

⇒ 1728 + 3888 = 5616

∴ The correct answer is 5616.
