    If x2=y+z,y2=z+x,z2=x+yx^2=y+z,y^2=z+x,z^2=x+yx2=y+z,y2=z+x,z2=x+y​, then the value of 1x+1+1y+1+1z+1\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{y+1}+\frac{1}{z+1}x+1
    Question

    If x2=y+z,y2=z+x,z2=x+yx^2=y+z,y^2=z+x,z^2=x+y​, then the value of 1x+1+1y+1+1z+1\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{y+1}+\frac{1}{z+1}​ will be:

    A.

    1

    B.

    2

    C.

    -1

    D.

    4

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    x2=y+zx^2 = y + z​​

    y2=z+xy^2 = z + x​​

    z2=x+yz^2 = x + y​​

    We are asked to find the value of:

    1z+1+1x+1+1y+1\frac{1}{z+1} + \frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{y+1}​​

    Solution:

    x2=y+zx^2 = y + z     ...(1)

    y2=z+xy^2 = z + x    ....(2)

    z2=x+yz^2 = x + y    ...(3)

    From equation (1) , we add x on both sides:

    x2 + x = x + y + z 

    x (x + 1) = x + y + z 

    1x+1=xx+y+z\frac{1}{x+1} =\frac{x}{x+y+z}   ...(4)

    Similarly, From equation (2) , we add y on both sides:

    1y+1=yx+y+z\frac{1}{y+1} =\frac{y}{x+y+z}      ...(5)

    ​Similarly, From equation (3) , we add z on both sides:

    1z+1=zx+y+z\frac{1}{z+1} =\frac{z}{x+y+z}      ....(6)

    Adding equation 4, 5 and 6 , we have-

    1x+1+1y+1+1z+1= \frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{y+1}+\frac{1}{z+1} =xx+y+z+yx+y+z+zx+y+z\frac{x}{x+y+z} +\frac{y}{x+y+z}+\frac{z}{x+y+z}​​​

    =x+y+zx+y+z\frac{x+y+z}{x+y+z} = 1​
