Solution

The correct option is A 5(ab)(bc)(ca)(a2+b2+c2abbcca)
Let p=ba and q=cb so that p+q=ba+cb=ca.

The expression becomes

(ab)5+(bc)5+(ca)5=p5q5+(p+q)5=5p4q+10p3q2+10p2q3+5pq4=5pq(p3+2p2q+2pq2+q3)=5pq(p+q)(p2+pq+q2)=5(ba)(cb)(ca)((p+q)2pq)=5(ab)(bc)(ca)((ca)2bcab+ac+b2)=5(ab)(bc)(ca)(a2+b2+c2abbcca)

Hence, (ab)5+(bc)5+(ca)5=5(ab)(bc)(ca)(a2+b2+c2abbcca).
