If $$\frac{{2 + a}}{a}$$  + $$\frac{{2 + b}}{b}$$  + $$\frac{{2 + c}}{c}$$  = 4, then the value of $$\frac{{ab + bc + ca}}{{abc}}$$   is?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{2 + a}}{a} + \frac{{2 + b}}{b} + \frac{{2 + c}}{c} = 4 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{2bc + abc + 2ac + abc + 2ab + abc}}{{abc}} = 4 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{2\left( {bc + ab + ca} \right)}}{{abc}} + \frac{{3abc}}{{abc}} = 4 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{2\left( {bc + ab + ca} \right)}}{{abc}} + 3 = 4 \cr & \Rightarrow \boxed{\frac{{ab + bc + ca}}{{abc}} = \frac{1}{2}} \cr} $$
