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:
- 10
- 20
- 30
- 40
- 50
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
