    If \[{{a}^{x}}={{b}^{y}}={{c}^{z}}\] and \[abc=1,\] then what is \[xy+yz+zx\]

    A)  \[xyz\]                         

    B)  \[x+y+z\]

    C)  \[0\]

    D)  \[1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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