Correct Answer: 2
Solution :
Given: $p+q+r=0$
To find: $(\frac{p^2}{p^2-q r}+\frac{q^2}{q^2-p r}+\frac{r^2}{r^2-p q})$
By putting the values p = 1, q = –1, and r = 0, the equation $p+q+r=0$ satisfies.
$(\frac{p^2}{p^2-q r}+\frac{q^2}{q^2-p r}+\frac{r^2}{r^2-p q})$
= $(\frac{1^2}{1^2-(-1)× 0}+\frac{(-1)^2}{(-1)^2-1×0}+\frac{0^2}{0^2-1×(-1)})$
= 1 + 1 + 0
= 2
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
