MCQ
In any triangle ABC , the value of $a\left(b^2+c^2\right) \cos A+b\left(c^2+a^2\right) \cos B+c\left(a^2+b^2\right)$ $\cos C$ is
  • A
    $3 abc ^2$
  • B
    $3 a ^2 bc$
  • 3 abc
  • D
    $3 a b^2 c$

Answer

Correct option: C.
3 abc
(C) $a b^2 \cos A+b a^2 \cos B+a c^2 \cos A+c a^2 \cos C$ $+b c^2 \cos B+b^2 c \cos C$
$=a b(b \cos A+a \cos B)+a c(c \cos A+a \cos C)$ $+b c(c \cos B+b \cos C)$
$=a b c+a b c+a b c=3 a b c$
