    If the product of n positive real numbers is one, then their sum is

    A)  \[n+\frac{1}{n}\]

    B)  \[n-\frac{1}{n}\]

    C)  \[2n+\frac{1}{n}\]

    D)  never less than n

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}},.....{{x}_{n}}\] are n positive integers. \[\because \] \[AM\ge GM\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+....+{{x}_{n}}}{n}\ge {{({{x}_{1}}.{{x}_{2}}....{{x}_{n}})}^{1/n}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+....+{{x}_{n}}}{n}\ge \,\,{{(1)}^{1/n}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+...+{{x}_{n}}\ge n\] Hence, their sun is never lea than n.
