    Question

    The value of , where x ≠ y ≠ z, is equal to:

    A.

    1/4

    B.

    1/2

    C.

    1/3

    D.

    1/9

    Correct option is B

    Given: 
    To find: value of expression (xy)3+(yz)3+(zx)36(xy)(yz)(zx), where xyz.\frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{6(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)} , \text{ where} \ x \ne y \ne z . 
    Concept Used: 
    If a + b + c = 0 or  a = b = c ,
    then , a3+b3+c3=3abca^3 +b^3+c^3=3abc 
    Solution: 
    comparing with  a + b + c = 0,
    (x - y) + (y - z) + (z - x) = 0 
     So,
      (xy)3+(yz)3+(zx)3=3(xy)(yz)(zx) Now, Putting this in expression, (xy)3+(yz)3+(zx)36(xy)(yz)(zx)  3(xy)(yz)(zx)6(xy)(yz)(zx)  3(xy)(yz)(zx)2×3(xy)(yz)(zx)  12(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3 = 3(x-y)(y-z)(z-x) \\ \text{ Now, Putting this in expression}, \\ \implies \frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{6(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)} \\ \ \\ \implies \frac{3(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}{6(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)} \\ \ \\ \implies \frac{\cancel{3(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}}{2 \times \cancel{3(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}} \\ \ \\ \implies \frac{1}{2}​​
