Suppose aa2a3-1bb2b3-1cc2c3-1 = 0 where a, b and c are distinct real numbers. If a = 3, then the value of abc is
Explanation:
Given, aa2a3-1bb2b3-1cc2c3-1 = 0
⇒ aa2a3bb2b3cc2c3 + aa2-1bb2-1cc2-1 = 0
⇒ abc × 1aa21bb21cc2 - aa21bb21cc21 = 0
⇒ abc × 1aa21bb21cc2 + 1a2a1b2b1c2c = 0
⇒ abc × 1aa21bb21cc2 - 1aa21bb21cc2 = 0
⇒ (abc - 1) × 1aa21bb21cc2 = 0
1aa21bb21cc2 ≠ 0
∴ abc - 1 = 0
⇒ abc = 1
Hence, 1.
