Question : Solve the following:
$(a + b + c) (ab + bc + ca) - abc = ?$
Option 1: $(a + b) (b + c) ( c - a)$
Option 2: $(a + b) (b - c) (c + a)$
Option 3: $(a + b) (b + c) (c + a)$
Option 4: $(a - b) (b - c) (c - a)$
Correct Answer: $(a + b) (b + c) (c + a)$
Solution :
Put $a = b = c = 1$ in $(a + b + c) (ab + bc + ca) - abc$
So, $(a + b + c) (ab + bc + ca) - abc$
= (1 + 1 + 1)(1 + 1 + 1) – 1
= 3 × 3 – 1
= 8
Then $(a + b)(b + c)(c + a) = 2×2×2=8$
Hence, the correct answer is $(a + b)(b + c)(c + a)$.
