The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the sum of the non-negative real numbers \( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \) and the sum \( S = \sum_{i < j} a_i a_j \). Given that \( a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_n = m \), we can proceed as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sum of Products**: The expression \( S = \sum_{i < j} a_i a_j \) represents the sum of the products of all pairs of the numbers \( a_i \) and \( a_j \) where \( i < j \). 2. **Using the Identity**: We can express \( S \) in terms of the square of the sum of the \( a_i \)'s: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \left( \left( \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i \right)^2 - \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i^2 \right) \] This is derived from the expansion of \( \left( \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i \right)^2 \), which includes all \( a_i^2 \) terms and the cross terms \( 2a_i a_j \). 3. **Substituting the Given Condition**: Since we know that \( a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_n = m \), we can substitute this into our equation: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \left( m^2 - \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i^2 \right) \] 4. **Applying Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality**: By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have: \[ n \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i^2 \geq \left( \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i \right)^2 = m^2 \] This implies: \[ \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i^2 \geq \frac{m^2}{n} \] 5. **Finding an Upper Bound for S**: Substituting this back into our expression for \( S \): \[ S \leq \frac{1}{2} \left( m^2 - \frac{m^2}{n} \right) = \frac{1}{2} m^2 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{n} \right) = \frac{m^2 (n-1)}{2n} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, we have shown that: \[ S \leq \frac{m^2 (n-1)}{2n} \]
