If a,b,c are real numbers such that `0 lt a lt 1, 0 lt b gt 1, 0 lt c lt 1, a + b + c = 2`, then prove that `(a)/(1 - a) (b)/(1 - b) (c )/(1 - c) ge 8`
.

Explanation

Put `a = y + z , b = z + x , c = x + y` , so that `x + y + z = 1`.
As `x = 1 -a , y = 1 - b , z = 1 - c ` and `0 lt a 1 lt 1 , 0 lt a lt 1 , 0 lt b lt 1 , 0 lt c lt 1`
it follows that `x , y , z gt0` , Now ,
`(a)/(1-a) (b)/(1-b) (c)/(1-c) = ([(y+ z) (z+x) (x+ y)])/(xyz) " " (1)`
Now , `A.M. ge G.M`
`implies (y+z)/(2) ge sqrt(yx) , (z+x)/(2) ge sqrt(zx) , (x+y)/(2) ge sqrt(xy)`
Multiplying , we get
`([(y+z) (z+x) (x + y)])/((xyz)) ge 8 " " (2)`
From (1) and (2) , we get
`(a)/(1-a) (b)/(1-b) (c)/(1-c) ge 8`.
