Given : a + b + c = 0 and a² + b² + c² = 16

On Squaring both sides, (a + b + c)² = 0²

a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 0

[By using an identity (a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2 bc + 2 ca)]

16 + 2(ab + bc + c) = 0

2(ab + bc + ca) = -16

ab + bc + ca = -16/2  

ab + bc + ca = - 8

Hence, the value of ab + bc + ca is - 8.
