A) 50
B) 60
C) 55
D) 45
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[a+b+c=13\] Squaring on both sides, \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}=69\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{(a+b+c)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}+2ab+2bc+2ca\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{(13)}^{2}}=69+2\,\,(ab+bc+ca)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2\,\,(ab+bc+ca)=100\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[ab+bc+ca=\frac{100}{2}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[ab+bc+ca=50\]You need to login to perform this action.
