Question : If $a+b+c=0$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2=40$, then what is the value of $a b+b c+c a$?

Option 1: –30

Option 2: –20

Option 3: –25

Option 4: –40

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –20


Solution : Given: $a+b+c=0$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2=40$
we know that,
$(a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab+bc+ca)$
Putting the values, we get:
⇒ $0 = 40 + 2(ab+bc+ca)$
⇒ $ab+bc+ca = -\frac{40}{2} = -20$
Hence, the correct answer is –20.

Question : Simplify the expression: $\frac{3-\operatorname{\sin}^2 A+\operatorname{\cos}^2 A}{2+2 \operatorname{\cos}^2 A}$

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 0

Option 3: –1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : $\frac{3-\operatorname{\sin}^2 A+\operatorname{\cos}^2 A}{2+2 \operatorname{\cos}^2 A}$
$=\frac{1-\operatorname{\sin}^2 A+2+\operatorname{\cos}^2 A}{2+2 \operatorname{\cos}^2 A}$
$=\frac{\operatorname{\cos}^2 A+2+\operatorname{\cos}^2 A}{2+2 \operatorname{\cos}^2 A}$ [$\because\cos^2 A=1-\sin^2 A$]
$=\frac{2+2\operatorname{\cos}^2 A}{2+2 \operatorname{\cos}^2 A}$
$=1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
