Question : If $(a+b+c)=16$ and $\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)=90$, find the value of $(a b+b c+c a)$.

Option 1: 84

Option 2: 83

Option 3: 82

Option 4: 81

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 83


Solution : We have, $(a+b+c) = 16$ and $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 90$
We know that $(a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab+bc+ca)$ 
So, $16^2 = 90 + 2(ab+bc+ca)$
⇒ $ab+bc+ca = \frac{16^2 - 90}{2}=83$
Hence, the correct answer is 83.
