  • Question
  • 1/1 + xb - a + xc - a + 1/1 + xa-b + xc - b + 1/1 + xb - c+ xa - c =?


  • Options
  • A. xa - b - c
  • B. 1
  • C. 0
  • D. 3

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    ? = 1/ ( 1 + xb - a + xc - a ) + 1/ ( 1 + xa - b + xc - b ) + 1 / ( 1 + xb - c + xa - c )
    Apply the law of algebra and solve the given equation.
    ? ? =1/ ( 1 + xb/xa + xc/xa ) + 1/ ( 1+ xa/xb + xc/xb ) + 1/ ( 1 + xb/xc + xa/xc )
    ? ? = xa/ ( xa+xb+xc ) + xb/ ( xb + xa+ xc ) + xc/ ( xc+xb+xa )
    ? ? = ( xa + xb + xc ) / ( xa + xb + xc ) = 1
