Question Number 22472 by Tinkutara last updated on 18/Oct/17
If x^x ∙y^y ∙z^z  = x^y ∙y^z ∙z^x  = x^z ∙y^x ∙z^y  such  that x, y and z are positive integers  greater than 1, then which of the  following cannot be true for any of the  possible value of x, y and z?  (1) xyz = 27  (2) xyz = 1728  (3) x + y + z = 32  (4) x + y + z = 12
