If 1/a+1/b+1/c = 1/(a+b+c) where a+b+c not equals '0', abc not equals '0', What is the value of (a+b) (b+c) (a+c) ?

A) 3 B) 2
C) 1 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0

Explanation:

Let assume the value of a,b &c that will satisfy the equation.
so a=1,b=1,c= -1 or a=1,b= -1 &c=1 or a= -1,b=1,c=1
here all three cases satisfy the equation
assume any one a=1,b=1,c= -1

Hence (a+b)(b+c)(c+a)=(1+1)(1-1)(-1+1) = 0

A) Rs. 127 B) Rs. 271
C) Rs. 721 D) Rs. 217
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 271

Explanation:

ATQ,

P : Q = 5 : 12 = 10 : 24

Q : R = 4 : 5.5 = 24 : 33

P:Q:R = 10 : 24 : 33

Sum of the ratios = 10 + 24 + 33 = 67

Difference between the share of R & Q

= (33-24/67 x 2018)

= 9/67 x 2018

= Rs. 271.
