The sum of the squares of three numbers is 138, while the sum of their products taken two at a time is 131. Their sum is-

A 20

B 30

C 40

D None of these

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

মনে করি, সংখ্যা তিনটি যথাক্রমে a, b, c

প্রশ্নমতে, a2 + b2 + c2 = 138..(i)

এবং ab + bc + ca = 131(ii)


আমরা জানি,

(a+b+c)2 = (a2+b2+c2) + 2(ab + bc+ca)

=138 + 2.132

=138 +262

⇒(a+b+c)2 = 400

⇒ (a + b + c)2 = (20)2

⇒ a + b + c = 20
