y z x y z + 1 = 5 1 , x z x y z + 1 = 1 5 − 1 , x y x y z + 1 = 3 1 ⇒ 5 y z = 1 5 − x z = 3 x y ⇒ y x = − 3 a n d y z = − 5 ⇒ z − x z − y = − 5 y + 3 y − 5 y − y = 3
i have done the sum algebrically correct.But logically Idon't agree with the second equation, because x,y,z are real numbers, the equivalent value should not be negative.
By subtracting equations:
(3)-(2)
z+ x y 1 -y- x z 1 = 3 1 - 1 5 − 1
z-y+ x y z z − y = 1 5 6
By taking (z-y) as a common factor:
(z-y)(1+ x y z 1 ) )= 1 5 6 ...*
Then we subtract (3)-(1):
z+ x y 1 -x- y z 1 = 3 1 - 5 1
z-x+ x y z z − x = 1 5 2
By taking (z-x) as a common factor:
(z-x)(1+ x y z 1 ) )= 1 5 2 ...**
Then:
∗ ∗ ∗
( z − x ) ( z − y ) =3

the above three equation gives x y z + 1 = 5 y z = 1 5 − x z = 3 x y
now from above equation 3 z = 5 x , 3 y = − x , − z = 5 y
let's see what we have to find, it is z − x z − y so if we convert x , y in the form of z than it will be quite helpful,
now x = 5 3 z
y = 5 − z
So at last z − x z − y = z ( 1 − 5 3 ) z ( 1 + 5 1 ) = 3
so the correct answer is 3
