Given,

a1b×b1c×c1a=1\sqrt{a^{-1}b} \times \sqrt{b^{-1}c} \times \sqrt{c^{-1}a} = 1

Solving L.H.S :

a1b×b1c×c1a(1a)b×(1b)c×(1c)a(ba)×(cb)×(ac)(ba)×(cb)×(ac)11.\Rightarrow \sqrt{a^{-1}b} \times \sqrt{b^{-1}c} \times \sqrt{c^{-1}a} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{1}{a}\Big)b} \times \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{1}{b}\Big)c} \times \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{1}{c}\Big)a} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{b}{a}\Big)} \times \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{c}{b}\Big)} \times \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{a}{c}\Big)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{b}{a}\Big) \times \Big(\dfrac{c}{b}\Big) \times \Big(\dfrac{a}{c}\Big)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{1} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1.

Hence proved, a1b×b1c×c1a=1\sqrt{a^{-1}b} \times \sqrt{b^{-1}c} \times \sqrt{c^{-1}a} = 1.
