The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the inequality involving the positive real numbers \( x, y, z \) such that \( x + y + z = a \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Arithmetic Mean**: We know that the arithmetic mean of the numbers \( x, y, z \) is given by: \[ \text{AM} = \frac{x + y + z}{3} = \frac{a}{3} \] 2. **Applying the Inequality**: According to the inequality of arithmetic and harmonic means (AM-HM inequality), we have: \[ \text{AM} \geq \text{HM} \] where the harmonic mean (HM) of \( x, y, z \) is given by: \[ \text{HM} = \frac{3}{\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}} \] 3. **Setting Up the Inequality**: From the AM-HM inequality, we can write: \[ \frac{a}{3} \geq \frac{3}{\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}} \] 4. **Cross Multiplying**: Cross multiplying gives us: \[ a \left( \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z} \right) \geq 9 \] 5. **Rearranging the Terms**: Rearranging the above inequality leads to: \[ \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z} \geq \frac{9}{a} \] 6. **Finding the Final Result**: Now, we can express the inequality in terms of \( x, y, z \): \[ 1 + \frac{1}{x} + 1 + \frac{1}{y} + 1 + \frac{1}{z} \geq 1 + \frac{9}{a} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 3 + \left( \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z} \right) \geq 3 + \frac{9}{a} \] 7. **Final Conclusion**: Thus, we conclude that: \[ 1 + \frac{1}{x} + 1 + \frac{1}{y} + 1 + \frac{1}{z} \geq \frac{9}{a} \] Therefore, the correct option is: \[ 1 + x + 1 + y + 1 + z > \frac{9}{a} \]
