Question : If $a^2+b^2+c^2+84 = 4(a - 2b + 4c)$, then $\sqrt{ab - bc + ca}$ is equal to:
Option 1: $4 \sqrt{10}$
Option 2: $\sqrt{10}$
Option 3: $5\sqrt{10}$
Option 4: $2\sqrt{10}$
Correct Answer: $2\sqrt{10}$
Solution : Given: $a^2+b^2+c^2+84 = 4(a - 2b + 4c)$ ⇒ $a^2+ b^2+ c^2− 4a + 8b − 16c + 84 = 0$ ⇒ $(a^2− 4a + 4) + (b^2+ 8b + 16) + (c^2− 16c + 64) = 0$ ⇒ $(a − 2)^2+(b + 4)^2+ (c − 8)^2= 0$ ⇒ $a = 2, b = − 4$, and $c = 8$ Now, $\sqrt{ab - bc + ca}$ = $\sqrt{(2× -4) – (- 4 × 8 ) + (8 × 2)}$ = $\sqrt{-8 +32 + 16}$ = $\sqrt{40}$ = $2\sqrt{10}$ Hence, the correct answer is $2\sqrt{10}$.
