( a + b + c ) 2 = 0 (a+b+c)^{2}=0

a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2 ( a b + b c + a c ) = 0 a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+2(ab+bc+ac)=0

a 2 + b 2 + c 2 = 2 ( b ( a + c ) + a c ) a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=-2(b(a+c)+ac)

a 2 + b 2 + c 2 = 2 ( b 2 + a c ) a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=-2(-b^{2}+ac)

a 2 + b 2 + c 2 = 2 ( b 2 a c ) a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=2(b^{2}-ac)

put in the equation and answer is 2

It is given that a + b + c = 0 b = ( a + c ) a+b+c=0\quad \Rightarrow b = - (a+c) .

b 2 + c 2 + a 2 b 2 c a = [ ( a + c ) ] 2 + c 2 + a 2 [ ( a + c ) ] 2 c a = c 2 + 2 c a + a 2 + c 2 + a 2 c 2 + 2 c a + a 2 c a \Rightarrow \dfrac {b^2+c^2+a^2}{b^2-ca} = \dfrac {[-(a+c)]^2+c^2+a^2}{[-(a+c)]^2-ca} = \dfrac {c^2+2ca+a^2+c^2+a^2}{c^2+2ca+a^2-ca}

= 2 c 2 + 2 c a + 2 a 2 c 2 + c a + a 2 = 2 ( c 2 + c a + a 2 ) c 2 + c a + a 2 = 2 = \dfrac {2c^2+2ca+2a^2}{c^2+ca+a^2} = \dfrac {2(c^2+ca+a^2)}{c^2+ca+a^2} = \boxed{2}

let us assume that a=3,b=1,c=-4 so that it satisfies a+b+c=0 if we substitute the same a,b,c values in (b^2+c^2+a^2)/(b^2-ca) then we will get 2 as a result in case if we consider another values fora,b,c also then we will get 2 as the final result we can take a=4,b=1,c=-5; a=6,b=1,c=-7 .....................so on

yeah i got it
