If $$a + \frac{1}{b}$$  = $$b + \frac{1}{c}$$  = $$c + \frac{1}{a}$$  (where a ≠ b ≠ c), then abc is equal to?

If $$a + \frac{1}{b}$$  = $$b + \frac{1}{c}$$  = $$c + \frac{1}{a}$$  (where a ≠ b ≠ c), then abc is equal to? Correct Answer +1 & -1

$$\eqalign{ & a + \frac{1}{b} = b + \frac{1}{c} = c + \frac{1}{a} \cr & {\text{Put , }}a = \frac{1}{2},b = 2,c = - 1 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 2 - 1 = - 1 + 2 \cr & \Rightarrow 1 = 1 = 1 \cr & abc = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times - 1 \cr & \boxed{abc = - 1} \cr & {\text{Again put}} \cr & a = - \frac{1}{2},b = - 2,c = 1 \cr & \Rightarrow a + \frac{1}{b} = b + \frac{1}{c} = c + \frac{1}{a} \cr & \Rightarrow - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = - 2 + 1 = 1 - 2 \cr & \Rightarrow - 1 = - 1 = - 1 \cr & {\text{Equation satisfied}} \cr & \Rightarrow abc = - \frac{1}{2} \times - 2 \times 1 \cr & \boxed{abc = + 1} \cr & {\text{So, }}abc{\text{ can be }} - 1{\text{ and }} + 1 \cr} $$

Road damage is often down to a few factors such as the quantity of traffic, the weight of the vehicles passing on it, and environmental conditions. XYZ town has a port, called ABC. To get to ABC, there is a road, that is divided into two lanes. One for the traffic going towards ABC port, and the other for traffic going away from ABC port. The lane of the road that leads to ABC port, has significantly less damage, than the lane that leads away from it. Which of the following helps explain this best?
