Let x ,   y ,   z be positive real numbers such that x + y + z = 12 and x 3 y 4 z 5 = 0 .1 600 3 .…

Let x, y, z be positive real numbers such that x+y+z=12 and x3y4z5=0.16003. Then x3+y3+z3 is equal to
  1. 342
  2. 216
  3. 258
  4. 270

Solution

x+y+z=12

A.M.G.M.

3x3+4y4+5z512  x33 y44 z5512 

11

A.M.=G.M.

All the numbers are equal.

x3=y4=z5=k

x=3k; y=4k; z=5k

x+y+z=12

3k+4k+5k=12

k=1

x=3; y=4; z=5

Therefore, x3+y3+z3=216.
