i think we can do it like this,
We have to find,
(X-A)(X-B)(X-C)....(X-Y)(X-Z)
= (X-A)(X-B)(X-C)(X-D)....(X-W)(X-X)(X-Y)(X-Z)
= (X-A)(X-B)(X-C)(X-D)....(X-W)(0)(X-Y)(X-Z) (since X-X = 0)
= 0 [Product of any term multiplied with zero always results in zero].
Hence the answer is zero.

Dear Surya
I thought that 1st term i.e. x is a variable while a,b, c,....z are constant relative to that x.
So I thought X- x can't be zero.
Otherwise if you mean both x are same then you are correct.

Dear student,
Since (x – x) is one of the term as per the information, and both x mmeans the same thing hence this term is = 0
Hence, the final answer = 0
Thanks and regards,

In the sequence of multiplication there is term (x-x) = 0
Anything multiplied by zero is always Zero.
So, the value of whole term is 0.Other Related Questions on algebra
