Let and be three positive real numbers. Let and be such that for all . If be in arithmetic progression with mean zero, then the value of is equal to
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given and be three positive real numbers. Let and be such that for all . If be in arithmetic progression with mean zero, then the value of is equal to
Given,
Mean is zero, so
Now this means that first and last term, second and second last and so on are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.
Given,
Now finding \left({a}_{1}^{3} + {a}_{2}^{3} + \ldots . + {a}_{n}^{3}\right) + \gamma\left({a}_{1} + {a}_{2} + \ldots . + {a}_{n}\right)= 0\alpha + 0\beta + 0\gamma = 0 {as first & last, second and second last and so on are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign}
Now given
So, {from equation\left(1\right) }
