Q54 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (09 Apr Online) · Mathematics

Let x, y, z be positive real numbers such that x+y+z=12 and x3y4z5=0.16003. Then x3+y3+z3 is equal to

  • A
    342
  • Correct answer
    B
    216
  • C
    258
  • D
    270

Solution

x+y+z=12

A.M.≥G.M.

3x3+4y4+5z512 ≥ x33 y44 z5512 

1≥1

⇒A.M.=G.M.

⇒All the numbers are equal.

∴x3=y4=z5=k

x=3k; y=4k; z=5k

x+y+z=12

⇒3k+4k+5k=12

⇒k=1

∴ x=3; y=4; z=5

Therefore, x3+y3+z3=216.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
