    If the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means between two positive real numbers be \[A,\ G\] and \[H\], then [AMU 1979, 1982; MP PET 1993]

    A) \[{{A}^{2}}=GH\]

    B) \[{{H}^{2}}=AG\]

    C) \[G=AH\]

    D) \[{{G}^{2}}=AH\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[A=\frac{a+b}{2},\ G=\sqrt{ab}\] and \[H=\frac{2ab}{a+b}\]. Then \[{{G}^{2}}=ab\] .....(i) and \[AH=\left( \frac{a+b}{2} \right)\ .\ \frac{2ab}{a+b}=ab\] .....(ii) From  (i) and (ii), we have \[{{G}^{2}}=AH\].
