The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the compound ratio of the inverse ratios of the ratios \( x : yz, y : zx, z : xy \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write the Ratios in Fraction Form**: The given ratios can be expressed as: \[ \frac{x}{yz}, \quad \frac{y}{zx}, \quad \frac{z}{xy} \] 2. **Find the Inverse of Each Ratio**: To find the inverse of each ratio, we switch the numerator and denominator: \[ \text{Inverse of } \frac{x}{yz} = \frac{yz}{x}, \quad \text{Inverse of } \frac{y}{zx} = \frac{zx}{y}, \quad \text{Inverse of } \frac{z}{xy} = \frac{xy}{z} \] 3. **Write the Inverse Ratios**: Now we have the inverse ratios: \[ \frac{yz}{x}, \quad \frac{zx}{y}, \quad \frac{xy}{z} \] 4. **Find the Compound Ratio**: The compound ratio is found by multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together: \[ \text{Numerator: } yz \cdot zx \cdot xy = y^2z^2x^2 \] \[ \text{Denominator: } x \cdot y \cdot z = xyz \] 5. **Combine the Results**: So, the compound ratio is: \[ \frac{y^2z^2x^2}{xyz} \] 6. **Simplify the Compound Ratio**: We can simplify this expression: \[ = \frac{y^2z^2x^2}{xyz} = \frac{y^2z^2x^2}{xyz} = \frac{y^{2-1}z^{2-1}x^{2-1}}{1} = xyz \] 7. **Final Result**: Thus, the compound ratio is: \[ xyz : 1 \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is \( xyz : 1 \).
