    Question

    If ab=bc=cd\frac{a}{b}=\frac{b}{c}=\frac{c}{d}​, then b3+c3+d3a3+b3+c3\frac{b^3+c^3+d^3}{a^3+b^3+c^3}​ will be equal to:

    A.

    ad\frac{a}{d}​​

    B.

    dc\frac{d}{c}​​

    C.

    da\frac{d}{a}​​

    D.

    bd\frac{b}{d}​​

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    ab=bc=cd=k\frac{a}{b} = \frac{b}{c} = \frac{c}{d} = k

    This implies:

    a=bk,b=ck,c=dka = bk, \quad b = ck, \quad c = dk

    We need to evaluate:

    b3+c3+d3a3+b3+c3\frac{b^3 + c^3 + d^3}{a^3 + b^3 + c^3}

    Solution:

    Substituting a, b, c in terms of d:

    a=k3d,b=k2d,c=kda = k^3 d, \quad b = k^2 d, \quad c = k d

    Substituting these values in the given fraction:  

    b3+c3+d3a3+b3+c3\frac{b^3 + c^3 + d^3}{a^3 + b^3 + c^3} 

    (k2d)3+(kd)3+d3(k3d)3+(k2d)3+(kd)3\frac{ (k^2d)^3 + (kd)^3 + d^3}{(k^3d)^3 + (k^2d)^3 + (kd)^3}   

    =  d3(k6+k3+1)d3k3(k6+k3+1)\frac{d^3(k^6 + k^3 + 1)}{d^3k^3( k^6 + k^3 + 1)}-​

    ​​=k6+k3+1k3(k6+k3+1)=1k3=da=\frac{k^6 + k^3 + 1}{k^3 (k^6 + k^3 + 1)} =\frac{1}{k^3} =\frac{d}{a}
