    If a(a + b + c) = 45, b(a + b + c) = 75 and c(a + b + c) = 105, then what is the value of (a2 + b2 + c2)?

    75

    Incorrect Answer

    83

    Correct Answer

    217

    Incorrect Answer

    225

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Here is the solution to this problem…..
    The given equations are:
    a (a + b + c) = 45 …….(i)
    b (a + b + c) = 75 ……..(ii)
    c (a + b + c)= 105 …….(iii)
    Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:
    (a + b + c) (a + b + c) =45 + 75 + 105
    i.e. (a + b + c)^2 = 225
    Taking square root on both sides of above eqn., we get:
    (a + b + c) = 15
    Put the value of (a + b + c) in eqn.s (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:
    a × 15 = 45
    b × 15 = 75
    c × 15 = 105
    This implies that
    a = 3, b = 5, c = 7
    So, we have
    (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) = 3^2 + 5^2 + 7^2
    = 9 + 25 + 49
    =83
