    Question

    If a + b + c = 12 and ab + bc + ca = 30, then find the

    value of a² + b² + c².
    A 84 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 64 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since, (a+b+c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab+bc+ca) So, a² + b² + c² = (12)² – 2 x 30
    = 144 - 60 = 84
