Question : If $3a=4b=6c$ and $a+b+c=27\sqrt{29}$, then $\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}$ is equal to:
Option 1: 87
Option 2: $3\sqrt{29}$
Option 3: 82
Option 4: 83
Correct Answer: 87
Solution : Given: $3a=4b=6c$ ⇒ $3a=6c$ ⇒ $a=2c$ $4b=6c$ ⇒ $b=\frac{3}{2}c$ Putting these values in the equation, we get, $a+b+c=27\sqrt{29}$ ⇒ $2c+\frac{3}{2}c+c=27\sqrt{29}$ ⇒ $\frac{9}{2}c=27\sqrt{29}$ ⇒ $c=6\sqrt{29}$ now we have to find $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}$, then: $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}=\sqrt{(a+b+c)^2–2(ab+bc+ca)}$ Putting the values ⇒ $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}=\sqrt{(27\sqrt{29})^2–2(2c×\frac{3}{2}c+\frac{3}{2}c×c+c×2c)}$ ⇒ $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}=\sqrt{(27\sqrt{29})^2–2(3c^2+\frac{3}{2}c^2+2c^2)}$ ⇒ $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}=\sqrt{(729×29)–2×\frac{13}{2}c^2}$ ⇒ $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}=\sqrt{(729×29)–13c^2}$ ⇒ $\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}=\sqrt{21141–13(6\sqrt{29})^2}$
