take a=b=c=-1 and answer is -1.

Question:

If a, b, c are positive integer, then minimum value of  a2+ a +1b2+ b +1c2+ c +1abc    

Options:
A)

3

B)

9

C)

27

D)

1

Solution:

Ans:(c) a, b, c are positive integer (given).

To find the minimum value of  a2+ a +1b2+ b +1c2+ c +1abc   

Let, a = b = c = 1.

We cannot take a = 0, or b = 0 or c = 0 as denominator cannot be 0, it will give infinity as solution. 

So, taking a = b = c = 1.

We get,  1+1+11+1+11+1+11×1×1     3 × 3 × 3 = 27
