MCQ
If $a, b, c$ are distinct positive numbers, each different from $1$, such that $[{\log _b}a{\log _c}a - {\log _a}a] + [{\log _a}b{\log _c}b - {\log _b}b]$ $ + [{\log _a}c{\log _b}c - {\log _c}c] = 0,$ then $abc =$
  • $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$
a
(a) $[{\log _b}a.{\log _c}a - {\log _a}a] + [{\log _a}b.{\log _c}b - {\log _b}b]$
$ + [{\log _a}c{\log _b}c - {\log _c}c] = 0$

==> ${1 \over {\ln a.\ln b.\ln c}}[{(\ln a)^3} + {(\ln b)^3} + {(\ln c)^3} - 3\ln a.\ln b.\ln c] = 0$

==> ${(\ln a)^3} + {(\ln b)^3} + {(\ln c)^3} - 3\ln a.\ln b.\ln c = 0$

==> $\ln a + \ln b + \ln c = 0$

==> $\ln (abc) = ln 1$, $[{a^3} + {b^3} + {c^3} - 3abc = 0$

==> $a + b + c = 0]$,

$\therefore abc = 1$.
