Question

If a, b, c are all unequal and different from one and the points  are collinear then ab + bc + ca =

Solution

Correct option is

Let the given points lie on the line

      px + qy + r = 0, then

      pt3 + q(t2 – 3) + r(t – 1) = 0

or  pt3 + qt2 + rt – (3q + r) = 0   has roots a, b, c

          

Let us eliminate p, q, r from above
