Answer 1

The command to show the content of the /var/log directory with inode numbers and redirecting both errors and output to a file named root.txt in the home directory would be:

```
ls -li /var/log &> ~/root.txt
```

Explanation:

- `ls -li /var/log` lists the content of the /var/log directory with inode numbers.
- `&>` redirects both standard output and standard error to the specified file.
- `~/root.txt` specifies the file path to be in the home directory with the name root.txt.
