Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given:
$a+\frac{1}{b}=1$ and $b+\frac{1}{c}=1$
⇒ $a =1-\frac{1}{b}=\frac{(b-1)}{b}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{a}=\frac{b}{(b-1)}=\frac{-b}{(1-b)}$
Also, $b+\frac{1}{c}=1$
⇒ $\frac{1}{c} =1-b$
⇒ $c = \frac{1}{(1-b)}$
Now, $c + \frac{1}{a}$
$=\frac{1}{(1-b)}-\frac{b}{(1-b)}$
$=\frac{(1-b)}{(1-b)}$
$= 1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
