Concept:

If a,b,c are the positive integers, then

1. Arithmetic mean:

  

2. Geometric mean 

  

3. Harmonic mean 

  

4. The relation between AM, GM, and HM

  • G2 = AH
  • AM  ≥  GM  ≥  HM

 

Calculation:

We know that, 

AM ≥ GM

⇒    ---(1)

Similarly,

     ----(2)

   ----(3)

Multiplying these inequalities, we will get

⇒  (a + b)(b + c)(c + a)  ≥ 8abc

Hence, ≥ 8abc is the correct answer.
