Q:

If ab+c=bc+a=Cb+athen which one of the following statements is correct?

A) Each fraction is equal to 1 or -1 B) Each fraction is equal to 1/2 or 1
C) Each fraction is equal to 1/2 or -1 D) Each fraction is equal to 1.2 only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Each fraction is equal to 1/2 or -1

Explanation:

a/(b+c) = b/(c+a) = c/(a+b)

Taking reciprocal and adding 1 to each ratio we get;

(b+c)/a + 1 = b/(c+a) + 1 = c/(a+b) + 1

Or (a+b+c)/a = (a+b+c)/b = (a+b+c)/c

So this can only be equal when a=b=c or a+b+c = 0

When a=b=c we get

a/(b+c)= ½When a+b+c = 0 we get

b+c = -a

So a/(b+c) = -1

So the ratios are ½ or -1
