Question : If $(a+b+c)=19$ and $\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)=155$, find the value of $(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2$
Option 1: 104
Option 2: 108
Option 3: 100
Option 4: 98
Correct Answer: 104
Solution : Given: $(a+b+c)=19$ $(a^2+b^2+c^2)=155$ We know that $(a+b+c)^2 = (a^2+b^2+c^2)+2(ab+bc+ca)$ So, $19^2 = 155+2(ab+bc+ca)$ ⇒ $ab+bc+ca = \frac{361-155}{2}$ ⇒ $ab+bc+ca= 103$ Now, $(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2$ $= a^2+b^2-2ab+b^2+c^2-2bc+c^2+a^2-2ca$ $= 2(a^2+b^2+c^2)-2(ab+bc+ca)$ $= 2(155)-2(103)$ $= 2 × 52$ $= 104$ Hence, the correct answer is 104.
