Options

B. 3 M^2

D. M^2

Also asked in:

Correct Answer: 3 M^2

Explanation:

We have : ( a + b + c) / 3 = M or (a + b + c) = 3M.

Now. ${(a + b + c)}^{2} = {(3 M)}^{2} = 9 M^{2}$ .

$< = > a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + 2 (a b + b c + c a) = 9 M^{2}$

$a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} = 9 M^{2}, (a b + b c + c a = 0)$

Required mean = $(\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}}{3}) = \frac{9 M^{2}}{3} = 3 M^{2}$ .
