    If \[{{a}^{X}}={{b}^{Y}}={{c}^{Z}}\] and abc = 1, then what is \[cy+yz+zx\] equal to

    A) \[xyz\]                          

    B) \[x+y+z\]

    C) 0                     

    D) 1

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{a}^{x}}={{b}^{y}}={{c}^{z}}=k\]                          (Let say) \[\Rightarrow \]   \[a={{k}^{1/x}}\]             \[b={{k}^{1/y}}\] An        \[c={{k}^{1/z}}\] \[\therefore \]      \[abc={{k}^{\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1={{k}^{\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}}}={{k}^{0}}\]         (\[\because \] abc = 1, given) On comparing, \[\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[xy+yz+zx=0\]
