Answer
We have to find the value of $\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{bc}}+\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{ca}}+\frac{\text{c}^2}{\text{ab}}$
Given $a + b + c = 0$ Using identity $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)$
Put $a + b + c = 0 a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (0)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca) a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = 0 a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc$
$\frac{\text{a}^3}{\text{abc}}+\frac{\text{b}^3}{\text{abc}}+\frac{\text{c}^3}{\text{abc}}=3$
$\frac{\text{a}\times\text{a}\times\text{a}}{\text{abc}}+\frac{\text{b}\times\text{b}\times\text{b}}{\text{abc}}+\frac{\text{c}\times\text{c}\times\text{c}}{\text{abc}}=3$
$\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{bc}}+\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{ca}}+\frac{\text{c}^2}{\text{ab}}=3$
Hence the value of $\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{bc}}+\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{ca}}+\frac{\text{c}^2}{\text{ab}}$ is 3.

$\frac{\text{a}\times\text{a}\times\text{a}}{\text{abc}}+\frac{\text{b}\times\text{b}\times\text{b}}{\text{abc}}+\frac{\text{c}\times\text{c}\times\text{c}}{\text{abc}}=3$
$\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{bc}}+\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{ca}}+\frac{\text{c}^2}{\text{ab}}=3$
Hence the value of $\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{bc}}+\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{ca}}+\frac{\text{c}^2}{\text{ab}}$ is 3.
