Statement -1: If a,b,c are distinct real numbers in H.P, then `a^(n)+c^(n)gt2b^(n)" for all "ninN`. Statement -2: `AMgtGMgtHM`A. Statement -1 is true, Statement -2 is True, Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement for Statement -1.B. Statement -1 is true, Statement -2 is True, Statement -2 is not a correct explanation for Statement for Statement -1.C. Statement -1 is true, Statement -2 is False.D. Statement -1 is False, Statement -2 is True.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
If a,b,c are in H.P., then b is the HM of a and c.
But, the GM of a and c is `sqrt(ac)`. . . .(i)
Using `AMgtGM`, we have
`(a^(n)+c^(n))/(2)gtsqrt(a^(n)c^(n))`
`rArr" "(a^(n)+c^(n))/(2)gt(ac)^(n//2)`
`rArr" "(a^(n)+c^(n))/(2)gtb^(n)`
`rArr" "a^(n)+c^(n)gt2b^(n)`
Hence, statement -1 and 2 are true statement -2 is a correct explanation for statement -1.
