⇒ (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2 (xy + yz + zx) Solution:
⇒ 62 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2 × 10 Given,
⇒ 36 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 20 a2 + b2 + c2 − ab − bc − ca = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 + z2 = 16 Find, a : b : c =?
⇒ x2 + y2 + z2 − 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x2 + y2 + z2 According to the question,
− xy − yz − zx) a2 + b2 + c2 − ab − bc − ca = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 + z2 − 3xyz = 6 [16 − 10] ⇒ a2 + b2 + c2 = ab + bc + ca
