C. 1

Answer 1

We have to perform the indicated operation.
x y z times 1 / x y z:
x y z * 1 / x y z = (x y z) / (x y z) = 1
Answer:
C ) 1

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is (C) 1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to perform the following indicated operation :

$xyz~~\textup{times}~~\dfrac{1}{xyz}.$

That is, we need to find the product of both the terms.

Since first term and the second term are multiplicative inverses of each other, so their product must be one.

We have

$xyz~~\textup{times}~~\dfrac{1}{xyz}\\\\=xyz\times \dfrac{1}{xyz}\\\\=\dfrac{xyz}{xyz}\\\\=1.$

Thus, the required value is 1.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
