logzxy= c-1   =>  logzxy +1= c  =>  logzxy + logzz = c   =>  logzxyz = c

Thus we have, c = logzxyz,  a= logxxyz  and   b= logyxyz

Now, LHS =   ab + bc +ca  

let us first consider 'ab' ..... ab =  (logxxyz).(logyxyz)  =  [(logexyz)/(logex)] . [(logexyz)/(logey)]

                                                                            =  (logexyz)2 / logx.logy

Simlarly find bc and ac and add you will get     (logexyz)3 / logx.logy.logz

And RHS = abc = (logexyz)3 / logx.logy.logz

Therefore, LHS = RHS !! :)

c-1=Logzxy

c=Logzxy +1

c= Logzxy+Logzz

c= Logz(xyz) --1

Similarly,

b= Logyxyz

a= Logxxyz 

put the values of a b c in given equation and get the result
