Solution

From first and second equations we have
xa(b+1)=yb(a+1)=z1ab ....(1)
From second and third equations we have
x1bc=yb(c+1)=zc(b+1) .....(2)
From first and third equations, we have
xa(c+1)=y1ac=zc(a+1) .....(3)
From (1) and (2), we have
xa(b+1)×x1bc=z1ab×zc(b+1)
x2a(1bc)=z2c(1ab)
From (2) and (3), x1bc×xa(c+1)=yb(c+1)×y1ac
x2a(1bc)=y2b(1ac)
Therefore,x2a(1bc)=y2b(1ca)=z2c(1ab)
