Solution
The correct options are Aab+bc+ca=nl Babc−(bc+ca+ab)+3(a+b+c)=0 Ca+b+c=−ml Since the given point lies on the line lx+my+n=0, so a,b,c are the roots of the equation l(t3t−1)+m(t2−3t−1)+n=0 or lt3+mt2+nt−(3m+n)=0 Hence, a+b+c=−ml ...... (i) ab+bc+ca=nl ...... (ii) abc=3m+nl ...... (iii) So, from Equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we get abc−(bc+ca+ab)+3(a+b+c)=0
