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​
