If a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca = 0 then a : b : c is?
A. 1 : 2 : 1
B. 2 : 1 : 1
C. 1 : 1 : 2
D. 1 : 1 : 1
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Given, }} \cr & {a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2} - ab - bc - ca = 0 \cr & {\text{Find, }}a:b:c = ? \cr & {\text{According to the question, }} \cr & {a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2} - ab - bc - ca = 0 \cr & \Rightarrow {a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2} = ab + bc + ca \cr & {\text{Let }}a = b = c = 1 \cr & \Rightarrow {1^2} + {1^2} + {1^2} = 1 \times 1 + \left( {1 \times 1} \right) + \left( {1 \times 1} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow 3 = 3 \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{So, ratio of }}a:b:c = 1:1:1 \cr} $$Related Questions on Algebra
