Question Number 71073 by TawaTawa last updated on 11/Oct/19

a^2 = b^2 +c^2 +2bc  ∴ bc = ((a^2 −b^2 −c^2 )/2)⇒ a^2 −bc = ((a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )/2)  Similarly       b^2 −ca =  ((a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )/2)                              c^2 −ab = ((a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )/2)  ∴ the expression         ((2a^2 )/(a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )) +((2b^2 )/(a^2 +b^2 +c^2 ))+((2c^2 )/(a^2 +b^2 +c^2 )) = 2

$$\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\:\mathrm{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{c}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2bc} \\ $$$$\therefore\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{bc}}\:=\:\frac{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} −\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} −\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\Rightarrow\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} −\boldsymbol{\mathrm{bc}}\:=\:\frac{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{\mathrm{Similarly}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} −\boldsymbol{\mathrm{ca}}\:=\:\:\frac{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} −\boldsymbol{\mathrm{ab}}\:=\:\frac{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\therefore\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{the}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{expression}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{2}\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:+\frac{\mathrm{2}\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\frac{\mathrm{2}\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}} +\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$

Following method can be used  to find quick solution of MCQ:  Let a=−1, b=0,c=1  ∴ Given expression:  1+0+1=2

but then it′s not valid for all values of a, b, c  with a+b+c=0

$$\mathrm{but}\:\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{it}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{valid}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{all}\:\mathrm{values}\:\mathrm{of}\:{a},\:{b},\:{c} \\ $$$$\mathrm{with}\:{a}+{b}+{c}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

Can you give an example?

Of course,  this is not a proper (traditional)  way, but in MCQ type tests, we need tricky  approach to save time.

c=−(a+b)  (a^2 /(a^2 +ab+b^2 ))+(b^2 /(a^2 +ab+b^2 ))+(((a+b)^2 )/(a^2 +ab+b^2 ))=2

$${c}=−\left({a}+{b}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\frac{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\frac{\left({a}+{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
