Correct Answer: 3
Solution : Given: $x+y+z=0$ Cubing both sides, we get, $⇒(x+y+z)^3=0$ $⇒x^3 + y^3 + z^3 + 3(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)=0$ $⇒x^3+y^3+z^3 = -3(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)$ ......(1) From the given equation ($x+y+z=0$), we can get, $x+y=-z,$ $y+z=-x$ and $z+x=-y$ Putting in (1), we get, $x^3+y^3+z^3 = -3(-z)(-x)(-y)=3xyz$ Consider, $\frac{x^2}{(y z)}+\frac{y^2}{(x z)}+\frac{z^2}{(x y)}$ $=\frac{x^2(xz)(xy)+y^2(yz)(xy)+z^2(yz)(xz)}{(yz)(xz)(xy)}$ $=\frac{x^4yz+y^4zx+z^4xy}{x^2y^2z^2}$ Taking $xyz$ as common, we get, $=\frac{xyz(x^3+y^3+z^3)}{x^2y^2z^2}$ $=\frac{x^3+y^3+z^3}{xyz}$ $=\frac{3xyz}{xyz}$ $=3$ Hence, the correct answer is 3.
