Solution 1

The correct answer is "none of the mentioned".

Here's why:

Given that ab = 1, we can't directly infer any of the provided options.

Option a: a = b-1. If we substitute this into the equation, we get (b-1)b = 1, which simplifies to b^2 - b - 1 = 0. This doesn't necessarily hold true for all real Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
