Option 1: 96

Option 2: 84

Option 3: 48

Option 4: 42

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 48


Solution : Given, $a^2+b^2+c^2=160$ and $a+b+c=16$
We know, $(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ca)$
⇒ $16^2 = 160 + 2(a b+b c+c a)$
⇒ $2(a b+b c+c a)=256-160$
⇒ $ab+bc+ca=48$
Hence, the correct answer is 48.
