If a, b and c are different real numbers such that \(a+\frac{1}{b}\) = \(b+\frac{1}{c}\) = \(c+\frac{1}{a}\) , which of the following is a possible value of the a*b*c?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 8


We can clearly see that if each of a, b & c is 1, the given equation is satisfied

So, definitely a*b*c can be 1

IMO Option A

Pls Hit kudos if you like the solution
