Sry, thats supposed to be 32+22+12

The thing is, if you know the inequality, using these constants will follow immediately. For JEE dont bother about this inequality.

prophet Sir, how did u get :

3^2 + 2^1 + 1^2 in ur very first statement???

BTW is Cauchy - Shwarz needed 4 JEE??

@manipal: chote bhai, just look up Cauchy Schwarz Inequality in wikipedia

waise, this will not come in jee or aieee etc. so dont bother about it right now

Hari Shankar ·

you asked for values of a,b and c. So i thought you might like to confirm whether thats right or wrong.

In any case, by Cauchy Schwarz Inequality, we have

(3^2+2^1+1^2)(a^2+b^2+c^2) \ge (3a+2b+c)^2 = 49 \Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2 \ge \frac{49}{14}

Hence 100 (a^2+b^2+c^2) \ge \frac{49}{14} \times 100 = 350

Equality occurs when \frac{a}{3} = \frac{b}{2} = \frac{c}{1} using which you get the values given.

prophet any logic to support ur answer ....

Hari Shankar ·

a=3/2; b=1; c=1/2

very easy question .. but of iit 4th year level

(this was just a bad joke .. this question is very well there in our syllabus ...) ..

guys dont give final value .. give a,b,c ....

Hari Shankar ·

350?

ANKIT MAHATO ·

atleast tell ur logic then i can comment on ur answer ...

Ankit : UR a is crrct, but b and c are wrong......

I got a much leser value than wat u got.....

BTW IS MA ANS. CRRCT????

soln .. don't see before u try ...

minimum value for the eq.. a2 + b2 + c2 is when a = b = c or
3a + 2b + c = 7 .. or 6a = 7 .. a = 7/6
100(3 (7/6)2) = 408.33

there are 100% chance of my soln. being wrong .. because by hit and trial a = 4/3 , b = 1 , c = 1 i got value as 377.77

72.309 .. tapan how did u get this result ...

ans?

72.309 ya aisa kuch??? How close am I ??

SOMETIMES LOGIC RULES OVER THE STANDARDS METHODS

MY LOGIC a2+b2+c2 is always going to be positive

SO U WONT GET ANY PROFIT BY TAKING A NEGATIVE NUMBER

SO THIS WOULD HAVE MIN WHEN

a=1 b=2 c=0
a=2 b=0 c=1
so i think it should be 500
please confirm it
