The correct answer is: 2

 -π2sin-1xπ2,-π2sin-1yπ2

and -π2sin-1zπ2

Given that, 

sin-1x+sin-1y+sin-1z=3π2

Which is possible only when

sin-1x=sin-1y=sin-1z=π2

 x=y=z=1

Put p=q=1

Then, f(2)=f(1)f(1)=2×2=4

and put p=1,q=2

then, f(3)=f(1) f(2)

=2·22=8

 xf(1)+yf(2)+zf(3)-x+y+zxf(1)+yf(2)+zf(3)

=1+1+1-31+1+1=3-1=2
