If a b+b c+c ...

Question

If $a b + b c + c a = 0$ , then the value of $\frac{1}{a^{2} - b c} + \frac{1}{b^{2} - c a} + \frac{1}{c^{2} - a b}$ will be:

A. $- 1$
B. $a + b + c$
C. $a b c$
D. $0$

Open in App

Solution

Correct option is D. $0$
Given: $a b + b c + c a = 0$
Therefore,
$\Rightarrow a b = - (b c + c a)$ ...(i)
$\Rightarrow b c = - (a b + c a)$ ...(ii) and
$\Rightarrow c a = - (a b + b c)$ ...9(ii)
Now,
From (i),(ii) and (iii)
$\frac{1}{a^{2} - b c} + \frac{1}{b^{2} - c a} + \frac{1}{c^{2} - a b} = \frac{1}{a^{2} + (a b + c a)} + \frac{1}{b^{2} + (a b + b c)} + \frac{1}{c^{2} + (b c + c a)}$
$= \frac{1}{a (a + b + c)} + \frac{1}{b (a + b + c)} + \frac{1}{c (a + b + c)}$
$= \frac{b c + a c + a b}{a b c (a + b + c)}$
$= \frac{0}{a b c (a + b + c)}$
$= 0$
Therefore, $\frac{1}{a^{2} - b c} + \frac{1}{b^{2} - c a} + \frac{1}{c^{2} - a b} = 0$
