    If\[x+y+z=15\],\[xy+yz+zx=85\],then find the value of\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}\].

    A)  50                               

    B)  52

    C)  54                   

    D)         55  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[x+y+z=15\] Squaring both sides, \[{{(x+y+z)}^{2}}={{(15)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+2(xy+yz+zx)\] \[=225\] Putting the value of\[(xy+yz+zx)\].             \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+2\times 85=225\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+170=225\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}=225-170=55\]
