Minimum will occur when a = b = c, since abc = 1, a = b = c = 1, minimum value of S = 3/4
this expression doesn't look symmetric tho
True but it is cylicwise addition of terms, try to take LCM and then try to proceed. Hint: (a+b+c)^3 = (a+b+c)1/2[(a-b)^2 + (b-c)^2 + (c-a)^2] + 3abc
Could you please write the eqn on ppr and attach the img,
+1
it seems lengthy + idk how to solve this
you'll get 4th power bro.
In 3rd step, you wrote c^3 instead of c^4.
anyway
thanks.
I thought the same, but the ans shows 9/16
Possibility could be of the question being S²
