This question is pretty interesting. We need to find the value of $\frac{1}{x}$ , so by logical interpretation, $\frac{1}{x}$ is the answer to this question, so as $|x|$ . Therefore, we can say that

$|x|=\frac{1}{x}\implies |x|\cdot x =1$

So, the only solution to this equation is 1.

According to the question, x=1/x , x^2=1, root of 1=1 which is the correct answer!!!!!!!!

They are all correct technically because they all equal 1. If x=1, and the expression is saying x=1/x, then what it is really saying is 1=1/1 which is a true statement. Also, if x=1, then x^2=1 is the same as 1^2=1 and that is also a true statement, and because 1^2 is the same as 1×1, the square root of 1 would also be 1, making them all correct.
