CAT Problem

 

HUMRAJ!!!!!!!!

If x, y and z are real numbers such that x +y +z = 5 and xy +yz + zx =3, then which of the following equations best descibes the largest value of x?

a. x 5/3              

b. x < v19  

c. x 13/3  

d. x < 4

Answer to CAT Problem

(x+y+z)²=x²+y²+z²+2(xy+yz+xz);

25=x²+y²+z² +2*3; x²=25-6-(y²+z² )=19-(y²+z² ); Now x will be maximum if (y²+z² ) =0 Hence answer is x<v19.

@ Randhir

If y2 + z2 = 0; then y and z both are zero.

and xy + yz + zx = 0 which is not possible.

Am I right???????????

x < v19 what do you mean by

x < v19
what do you mean by v

@ NILAY

Yaar, square root of 19.

humrajj

the solution of answer s x < v19.....................and moreover  (Y2 + Z2) WILL NOT  equall to zero but t wll tend to zero and thus x wll tend to v19 thus x wll be maximum at x < v19....................

Let y=z Then , the two eqns

Let y=z

Then ,

the two eqns r simplified to

x+2y=5

2xy+y^2=3

Solving the 2 eqns we get

y=1/3 or 3

since we hv 2 find the max value of x...so y=z=1/3

theefore,

max value of x =13/3...
