If \(a, b\) and \(c\) are positive real numbers, then
Match List-I with List-II
List-I (Expression)List-II (The Least value of the expression)
(A) \((a+b)(b+c)(c+a)\)(I) \(8 a b c\)
(B) \((a+b+c)(a b+b c+c a)\)(II) \(9 a^2 b^2 c^2\)
(C) \(\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)\left(a b^2+b c^2+c a^2\right)\)(III) \(9 a b c\)
(D) \((a+b)^2(b+c)^2(c+a)^2\)(IV) \(64 a^2 b^2 c^2\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
  2. B (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
  3. C (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
  4. D (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \( a+b \ge 2\sqrt{ab}, b+c \ge 2\sqrt{bc}, c+a \ge 2\sqrt{ca} \) \( (a+b)(b+c)(c+a) \ge (2\sqrt{ab})(2\sqrt{bc})(2\sqrt{ca}) = 8abc \) (A) matches (I) (B) \( a+b+c \ge 3\sqrt[3]{abc} \) \( ab+bc+ca \ge 3\sqrt[3]{(ab)(bc)(ca)} = 3\sqrt[3]{a^2b^2c^2} \)…
