Option 1: $\frac{1}{4}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{3}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{9}$

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$


Solution : Given expression, $\frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{6(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}$
Let $x-y = a,$ $y-z = b,$ and $z-x = c$
⇒ The given expression becomes, $\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{6abc}$
Now, $a+b+c= x-y+y-z+z-x = 0$
⇒ When $a+b+c=0,\ a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc$
⇒ $\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{6abc} = \frac{3abc}{6abc}=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.
