Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer in option 1 i.e. 2

x + y + z = 0

This is only one equation and three variables are asked so let us assume y = 0

⇒ x + z = 0

⇒ x = - z

⇒ (x2 + y2 + z2) ÷ (z2 – xy)

⇒ [(-z)2 + z2] ÷ [ – (-z)z]

⇒ [z2 + z2] ÷ z2

⇒ 2z2 ÷ z2

⇒ 2
