Question : The value of $\frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{\left(x^2-y^2\right)^3+\left(y^2-z^2\right)^3+\left(z^2-x^2\right)^3}$, where $x \neq y \neq z$, is:
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{(x+y+z)}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$
Solution : Given: $\frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{\left(x^2-y^2\right)^3+\left(y^2-z^2\right)^3+\left(z^2-x^2\right)^3}$ = $\frac{3(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}{3(x^2-y^2)(y^2-z^2)(z^2-x^2)}$ [since $(x-y)+(y-z)+(z-x)=0$] = $\frac{(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}{(x+y)(x-y)(y+z)(y-z)(z+x)(z-x)}$ = $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$.

Option 1: 0.3
Option 2: 0.03
Option 3: 0.9
Option 4: 0.09
Correct Answer: 0.9
Solution : The value of $\sqrt{0.9}= \sqrt{\frac{9}{10}}$ = ${\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}}$ = ${\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}}$ $\sqrt{10}$ is greater than 3 but less than 4. So, 9 < 3$\sqrt{10}$ < 10 ⇒ 0.9 < ${\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}}$ < 1 ⇒ 0.9 < $\sqrt{0.9}$ < 1 Hence, the correct answer is 0.9.
