Let \(x, y>0\). If \(x^{3} y^{2}=2^{15}\), then the least value of \(3 x +2 y\) is

  1. A \(30\)
  2. B \(32\)
  3. C \(36\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using \(A M \geq G M\) \(\frac{x+x+x+y+y}{5} \geq\left(x^{3} \cdot y^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}\) \(\frac{3 x +2 y }{5} \geq\left(2^{15}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}\) \((3 x +2 y )_{\min }=40\)
