Question : If $p+q+r=0$, then what is the simplified value of the expression $(\frac{p^2}{p^2-q r}+\frac{q^2}{q^2-p r}+\frac{r^2}{r^2-p q})$?

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 1

Option 4: – 1

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $p+q+r=0$
To find: $(\frac{p^2}{p^2-q r}+\frac{q^2}{q^2-p r}+\frac{r^2}{r^2-p q})$
By putting the values p = 1, q = –1, and r = 0, the equation $p+q+r=0$ satisfies.
$(\frac{p^2}{p^2-q r}+\frac{q^2}{q^2-p r}+\frac{r^2}{r^2-p q})$
= $(\frac{1^2}{1^2-(-1)× 0}+\frac{(-1)^2}{(-1)^2-1×0}+\frac{0^2}{0^2-1×(-1)})$
= 1 + 1 + 0
= 2
Hence, the correct answer
