SSC CGL - 03 Dec 2022 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q71

If x + y + z = 0, then what is the value of X2(YZ)+Y2(XZ)+Z2(XY){{X^2} \over (YZ)}+{{Y^2} \over (XZ)}+{{Z^2} \over (XY)}?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 3.

Given:

x + y + z = 0

Concept Used:

If x + y + z = 0, then x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz ....(i)

Explanation:

According to the given question,

x2/(yz) + y2/(xz) + z2/(xy) 

⇒ (x3 + y3 + z3)/xyz = 3xyz/xyz = 3    {Using equation (i)}

Hence the required value is 3.
