Q:

a2 + b2 + c2 -ab- bc - ca = 0, iff

A) abc = -1 B) a = b = c
C) abc = 1 D) abc = 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) a = b = c

Explanation:

Here given formula is 

a2 + b2 + c2 -ab- bc - ca = 0

and it is possible if and only if a = b = c.

From the trial and error method, 

1) Let a = b = c = 1

Now substitute these values of a, b, c in the above formula.

We get 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 3 - 3 = 0

 

2) Now, let a = b = c = 4

Now substitute these values of a, b, c in the above formula.

We get 16 + 16 + 16 - 16 - 16 - 16 = 48 - 48 = 0.

 

Hence, it is possible that 

a2 + b2 + c2 -ab- bc - ca = 0 iff  a = b = c.
