If a b c = 1 then prove that

\frac{1}{1 + a + b^{- 1}} + \frac{1}{1 + b + c^{- 1}} + \frac{1}{1 + c + a^{- 1}} = 1

\frac{b}{b + a b + 1} + \frac{1}{1 + b + a b} + \frac{a b}{a b + a b c + b}

[a b c = 1 ∴ a b = c^{- 1}]

= \frac{b}{b + 1 + a b} + \frac{1}{b + 1 + a b} + \frac{a b}{b + 1 + a b}

= \frac{b + 1 + a b}{b + 1 + a b} = 1
