The correct answer is: 1
Given planes are:

x-cy-bz=0 ...(i)

cx-y+az=0 ...(ii)

bx+ay-z=0 ...(iii)

Equation of the plane passing through the line of intersection of the plane (i) and (ii) may be taken as:

x-cy-bz+λcx-y+az=0

or  x1+λc-yc+λ+z-b+aλ=0 ...(iv)

If plane (iii) and (iv) are the same, then 

  1+cλb=-(c+λ)a=-b+aλ-1 or λ=-a+bcac+b

and λ=-(ab+c)1-a2

  -a+bcac+b=-ab+c1-a2

   a-a3+bc-a2bc=a2bc+ac2+ab2+bc

   2a2bc+ab2+ac2+a3-a=0

  a2abc+c2+b2+a2-1=0

  a2+b2+c2+2abc=1
