If $b + c = ax, c + a = by, a + b = cz$, then the value $\frac{1}{9}\left[\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{y+1}+\frac{1}{z+1}\right]$ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
If $b + c = ax,
c + a = by,
a + b = cz$,
then the value $\frac{1}{9}\left[\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{y+1}+\frac{1}{z+1}\right]$
Put the values of a = 1 , b = 1 and c = 1
Then by putting these values in the given equations the we will get the values of a = 2, b = 2 and c = 2 Now put these values in desired equation,
$\frac{1}{9}\left[\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{y+1}+\frac{1}{z+1}\right]$ = $\frac{1}{9}\left[\frac{1}{2+1}+\frac{1}{2+1}+\frac{1}{2+1}\right]$
= $\frac{1}{9}\left[\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}\right]$ = \(\frac{1}{9}\) × \(\frac{3}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{9}\)
