The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given statements and equations step by step. ### Given: 1. \( 27abc \geq (a + b + c)^3 \) 2. \( 3a + 4b + 5c = 12 \) 3. We need to check if \( \frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^3} + \frac{1}{c^5} = 10 \) holds true for positive real numbers \( a, b, c \). ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 2 The second statement is a known theorem: For positive real numbers, the Arithmetic Mean (AM) is always greater than or equal to the Geometric Mean (GM). Therefore, this statement is true. **Hint:** Remember that the AM-GM inequality states that for any set of positive numbers, the average (AM) is at least as large as the geometric mean (GM). ### Step 2: Apply AM-GM Inequality Using the AM-GM inequality on \( a, b, c \): \[ \frac{a + b + c}{3} \geq (abc)^{1/3} \] Cubing both sides gives: \[ \frac{(a + b + c)^3}{27} \geq abc \] This implies: \[ (a + b + c)^3 \geq 27abc \] ### Step 3: Equate the Two Inequalities From the problem, we have: \[ 27abc \geq (a + b + c)^3 \] Combining both inequalities: \[ (a + b + c)^3 \geq 27abc \quad \text{and} \quad 27abc \geq (a + b + c)^3 \] This means: \[ (a + b + c)^3 = 27abc \] The equality in AM-GM holds when \( a = b = c \). ### Step 4: Set \( a = b = c \) Let \( a = b = c = k \). Then substituting into the second equation: \[ 3k + 4k + 5k = 12 \implies 12k = 12 \implies k = 1 \] Thus, \( a = b = c = 1 \). ### Step 5: Substitute Values into the Third Equation Now, substitute \( a = 1, b = 1, c = 1 \) into the equation: \[ \frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^3} + \frac{1}{c^5} = \frac{1}{1^2} + \frac{1}{1^3} + \frac{1}{1^5} = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 \] This does not equal 10. ### Conclusion Since \( \frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^3} + \frac{1}{c^5} = 3 \) does not equal 10, the first statement is false. ### Final Result - Statement 1 is false. - Statement 2 is true. ### Summary of Steps: 1. Verified that AM-GM inequality holds true. 2. Used AM-GM to derive that \( (a + b + c)^3 = 27abc \) implies \( a = b = c \). 3. Solved for \( a, b, c \) and substituted back to check the third equation.
