If `a,b,x,y` are real number and `x,y gt 0`, then `(a^(2))/(x)+(b^(2))/(y) ge ((a+b)^(2))/(x+y)` so on solving it we have `(ay-bx)^(2) ge 0`. Similarly, we can extend the inequality to three pairs of numbers, i.e, `(a^(2))/(x)+(b^(2))/(y)+(c^(2))/(z) ge ((a+b+c)^(2))/(x+y+z)` Now use this result to solve the following questions. The value of `(a^(2)+b^(2))/(a+b)+(b^(2)+c^(2))/(b+c)+(a^(2)+c^(2))/(a+c)` isA. ` ge (a+b+c)`B. `ge (1)/(2)(a+b+c)`C. `(3)/(2) le (a+b+c)`D. None of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - A `(a)` `(a^(2)+b^(2))/(a+b)+(b^(2)+c^(2))/(b+c)+(a^(2)+c^(2))/(a+c)` `=(a^(2))/(a+b)+(b^(2))/(b+c)+(c^(2))/(a+c)+(b^(2))/(a+b)+(c^(2))/(b+c)+(a^(2))/(a+c)` `ge ((2a+2b+2c)^(2))/(4(a+b+c)) ge (a+b+c)` `implies(a^(2))/(a+b)+(b^(2))/(b+c)+(c^(2))/(a+c)+(b^(2))/(a+b)+(c^(2))/(b+c)+(a^(2))/(a+c) ge a+b+c` |
