Question : If a + b + c = 10 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 48, then the value of ab + bc + ca is _______.
Option 1: 25
Option 2: 26
Option 3: 24
Option 4: 18
Correct Answer: 26
Solution : Given: a + b + c = 10 and a 2 + b 2 + c 2 = 48 Using the formula: (a + b + c) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca ⇒ (10) 2 = 48 + 2(ab + bc + ca) ⇒ 100 – 48 = 2(ab + bc + ca) $\therefore$ ab + bc + ca = $\frac{52}{2}$ = 26 Hence, the correct answer is 26.
