Question : If $\frac{x-a^{2}}{b+c}+\frac{x-b^{2}}{c+a}+\frac{x-c^{2}}{a+b} = 4(a+b+c)$, then $x$ is equal to:
Option 1: $(a+b+c)^{2}$
Option 2: $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}$
Option 3: $ab+bc+ca$
Option 4: $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-ab-bc-ca$

Correct Answer: $(a+b+c)^{2}$
Solution : Let values of $a = 1, b = 1, c = 0$ $\frac{x-a^{2}}{b+c}+\frac{x-b^{2}}{c+a}+\frac{x-c^{2}}{a+b} = 4(a+b+c)$ Now, let us find the value of $x$ by substituting the values of $a$, $b$ and $c$. $\frac{x-1}{1}+\frac{x-1}{1}+\frac{x}{2}=4(2)$ ⇒ $(x-1)+(x-1)+\frac{x}{2}=8$ ⇒ $(2x-2)+\frac{x}{2}=8$ ⇒ $2(2x-2)+x=8\times 2$ ⇒ $4x-4+x=16$ ⇒ $5x=20$ ⇒ $x=4$ Now, we will see which option gives answer 4. The answer comes out to be $(a+b+c)^{2}$. Since, $(a+b+c)^{2}=4$ Hence, the correct answer is $(a+b+c)^{2}$.
