This is mathematical problem.The criteria is that you should use all the ten digits once.And the final answer should be equal to 1.You can use any number of operators.

One way is this
9 - 8 + 7 - 6 + 5 - 4 - 3 + 2 -1 + 0 = 1
:woohoo: :woohoo:
Finding other way also.
Kumaresh, you had used it very well.I think 123456789 raised to the power 0 also give the same result!
Yes Abid! You are right !! There can be number of ways to get the desired result!!
:) :) :)
Two great solutions from two mathematicians..Here is one from my side,

(123456789/246913578)*2
Thats wonderful Sageetharan... :)

This is very good solution.. :)
Even though it is a good solution,it does not satisfy the criteria "you should use all the ten digits once".May be i should have put only once.Anyway good thinking.

Kumaresh,
Your solution is very good and simple.
Abid,
Your solution is that of a mathematician who knows algebra.

Still there are some more ways to arrive at the answer which i will post tomorrow,if nobody posts it.
Oh then what about this mean?

(23456789)*0+1=1 :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: Good thinking sajeetharan.Keep it up.
Sajeeetharan,
It is really nice thinking.But how did you get the first answer?
Or else the reverse for what Abid said... :)
0 to the power(23456789)+ 1 = 1

:)
I think there are several ways to prove this puzzle. It is really not a tough one!
