MCQ
If $\text{a},\text{b},\text{c}\in+\text{R}$ such that $\lambda\text{ abc}$ is the minimum value of $a(b^2 + c^2) + b(c^2 + a^2) + c(a^2 + b^2)$, then $\lambda=$
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • None of the above.

Answer

Correct option: D.
None of the above.
We know that $ \text{A}.\text{M}.\geq\text{G}.\text{M}.$
Therefore, $ \frac{{\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2}​}{2}\geq\sqrt{\text{b}^2\text{c}^2}​$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2}\geq2\text{bc}$
Multiplying a on both sides doesn’t change the inequality.
Since, given that a is positive.
$\Rightarrow\text{a}(\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}\ ...(1)$
Similarly, $\text{b}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}\ ...(2)$
and $\text{c}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}\ ...(3)$
adding $(1), (2)$ and $(3)$ we get
$\text{a}(\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})+\text{b}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})+\text{c}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}+2\text{abc}+2\text{abc}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}(\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})+\text{b}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2})+\text{c}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2})\geq6\text{abc}$
Therefore $\lambda$ is $6$
