( a+b+c=18, quad frac{a^{2} b^{3} c^{4}=2^{19} times 3^{3}}{1} ) From this eqn. we can cleculy assume that ( a, b, c ) are multiples of 2 and 3 only. so most switable values for these ( operatorname{eqn} operatorname{arcs} 8,6,4 ) And it also satisfy they ( operatorname{con} a+b+c=18 ) [ begin{array}{l} text { So let } a=4, b=6, quad c=8 qquad begin{array}{rl} frac{1}{2}^{2} & 2 times 3 & 1 left(2^{2}right)^{3} times(2 times 3)^{3} timesleft(2^{3}right)^{4} & 2^{3} =2^{6} times 2^{3} times 3^{3} times 2^{12} end{array} end{array} ] ( =2^{19} times 3^{3}left(begin{array}{l}2 t text { als of satisfy } text { this eqn } )end{array}right. ) Mence the values we assumed ar correct. so ( a^{2}+b^{2}=36+16= ) ine 52 well in these use options d 5 weur we can types of question and 5ee that option only option which are sum of two squares ret 16 , ( 100 rightarrow 64+36 ). ( 52 rightarrow 36+16=cos b e cos u y d theta ) so other options
