  • Question
  • The sum of the squares of three numbers is 138, while the sum of their products taken two at a time is 131. Their sum is:


  • Options
  • A. 20
  • B. 30
  • C. 40
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 20 

    Explanation
    Let the numbers be a, b and c.

    Then, a2 + b2 + c2 = 138 and (ab + bc + ca) = 131.

    (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 138 + 2 x 131 = 400.

    ⟹ (a + b + c) = √400 = 20.
