If p,q,r be three distinct real numbers, then the value of `(p+q)(q+r)(r+p),` isA. `gt8pqr`B. `lt8pqr`C. `8pqr`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Using `A.M.gtG.M.,` we have
`(p+q)/(2)gtsqrt(pq),(q+r)/(2)gtsqrt(qr)" and "(r+p)/(2)gtsqrt(rp)`
`implies" "p+qgt2sqrt(pq),q+rgt2sqrt(qr)" and "r+pgt2sqrt(rp)`
`implies" "(p+q)(q+r)(r+p)gt2sqrt(pq)xx2sqrt(qr)xx2sqrt(rp)`
`implies" "(p+q)(q+r)(r+p)gt8pqr`
