    If \[x+\frac{1}{y}=1\]and \[y+\frac{1}{z}=1,\] what is the value of xyz?

    A)  1                    

    B)  \[-1\]               

    C)         0                      

    D)         \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given that, \[x+\frac{1}{y}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]     \[xy+1=y\]                              ?...(i) and       \[y+\frac{1}{z}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[1-\frac{1}{z}=y\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{z-1}{z}=y\]                     ?...(ii) From eq. (ii),             \[y=\frac{z-1}{z}\] Comparing eqn. (i) with (ii)             \[xy+1=\frac{z-1}{z}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[xyz+z=z-1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[xyz=-1\]
