Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} = (ab+bc+ca)$ ⇒ $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - (ab+bc+ca)=0$ Since : $a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca = \frac{1}{2}[(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2]$ So, $a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca = \frac{1}{2}[(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2]=0$ ⇒ $a=b=c $ So, $\frac{a+c}{b} = \frac{a+a}{a} = 2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
