Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`E = tan x(cot y+cot z)+tan y(cot z+cot x)+tan z (cot x + cot y)`
Using A.M. `ge G.M.`
`{:(tan x cot y + tan x cot z),(" "+tan y cot z + tan y cot x),(" "+tan z.cot x.tan z.cot y),(bar(" 6 ")),(" "ge tan x.cot y.tan x.cot z),(" "xx tan y.cot z. tan x. cot z),(" "xx tan y. cot z. tan y. cot x),(" "xx tan z. cot x. tan z. cot y):}`
`therefore E ge 6`
