Q.If \(x ∝ y\), \(y ∝ z\), and \(z ∝ x\), then find the product of the three constants of proportionality.

\(z ∝ x\), i.e., \(z = kx\) \(y ∝ z\), i.e., \(y = mz = m \cdot kx = mkx\) \(x ∝ y\), i.e., \(x = py = p \cdot mkx = pmkx\) [\(p, m, k\) are non-zero distinct constants] ∴ \(pmkx = x\), i.e., \(pmk = 1\) ∴ The product of the three non-zero distinct constants is 1.
