The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the minimum value of the expression \( a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + \ldots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n \) given that the product of the positive real numbers \( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \) is a fixed number \( c \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: We are given that \( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \) are positive real numbers such that: \[ a_1 \cdot a_2 \cdot a_3 \cdots a_n = c \] 2. **Rewrite the Expression**: We need to minimize the expression: \[ S = a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + \ldots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n \] 3. **Use the AM-GM Inequality**: According to the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean (AM-GM) inequality, we have: \[ \text{AM} \geq \text{GM} \] For our case, we can apply AM-GM to the terms \( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{n-1}, 2a_n \). 4. **Calculate the Arithmetic Mean**: The arithmetic mean of these \( n \) terms is: \[ \text{AM} = \frac{a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n}{n} \] 5. **Calculate the Geometric Mean**: The geometric mean of these terms is: \[ \text{GM} = (a_1 \cdot a_2 \cdots a_{n-1} \cdot (2a_n))^{1/n} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \text{GM} = (2 \cdot a_1 \cdot a_2 \cdots a_{n-1} \cdot a_n)^{1/n} = (2c)^{1/n} \] 6. **Apply the AM-GM Inequality**: By the AM-GM inequality: \[ \frac{a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n}{n} \geq (2c)^{1/n} \] Therefore, we can multiply both sides by \( n \): \[ a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n \geq n(2c)^{1/n} \] 7. **Conclusion**: The minimum value of \( S = a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n \) is: \[ n(2c)^{1/n} \] Hence, Statement-1 is correct. 8. **Statement-2 Validation**: Statement-2 asserts that AM ≥ GM is a true statement, which is indeed correct. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
