Correct Answer: $–1$


Solution : Given: $a+\frac{1}{b}=1$, $b+\frac{1}{c}=1$.
$a+\frac{1}{b}=1$
$ab+1=b$ (equation 1)
Also, $b+\frac{1}{c}=1$
$1–\frac{1}{c}=b$ (equation 2)
Substitute the value of b in equation 1, we get
$ab+1=1–\frac{1}{c}$
$ab=–\frac{1}{c}$
$abc=–1$
Hence, the correct answer is $–1$.
