The correct answer is:
$\frac{5}{72}$
$\begin{aligned} & \text {} a=7, b=8, c=9 \\ & \frac{1}{r_1^2}+\frac{1}{r_2^2}+\frac{1}{r_3^2}=\left(\frac{s-a}{\Delta}\right)^2+\left(\frac{s-b}{\Delta}\right)^2+\left(\frac{s-c}{\Delta}\right)^2 \\ & =\frac{(s-a)^2+(s-b)^2+(s-c)^2}{\Delta^2} \\ & =\frac{5^2+4^2+3^2}{12(5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3)}=\frac{50}{720}=\frac{5}{72} .\end{aligned}$
