Question : If $a^2+b^2+c^2=a b+b c+a c$, then the value of $\frac{11 a^4+13 b^4+17 c^4}{17 a^2 b^2+9 b^2 c^2+15 c^2 a^2}$ is:
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 11
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $a^2+b^2+c^2=a b+b c+a c$ Multiplying both sides with 2, we get: $2a^2+2b^2+2c^2=2ab+2bc+2ac$ ⇒ $a^2+b^2-2ab+b^2+c^2-2bc+c^2+a^2-2ac=0$ ⇒ $(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2=0$ So, $a-b=0$, $b-c=0$, $c-a=0$ ⇒ $a=b=c$ Now, $\frac{11 a^4+13 b^4+17 c^4}{17 a^2 b^2+9 b^2 c^2+15 c^2 a^2}$ $=\frac{11 a^4+13 a^4+17 a^4}{17 a^2 a^2+9 a^2 a^2+15 a^2 a^2}$ $=\frac{41
