    Harmonic mean of any two numbers is 4 and relation between their geometric mean and arithmetic mean is\[{{G}^{2}}+2A=27,\]then these numbers are

    A)  6, 3                

    B)  4, 27

    C)  6, 7                

    D)  3, 9

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given, harmonic mean\[=4\]             ...(i) and        \[{{G}^{2}}+2A=27\]                ...(ii) We know that, \[{{G}^{2}}=H.A\] \[\Rightarrow \]           \[{{G}^{2}}=4A\]             [from Eq.(i)] \[\therefore \] from Eq. (ii) \[4A+2A=27\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[6A=27\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[A=\frac{27}{6}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{G}^{2}}=4.\frac{27}{6}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{G}^{2}}=18\] Let the numbers are a and b. \[\therefore \] \[\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{27}{6}\]and\[{{G}^{2}}=ab=18\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[a+b=9\]     and    \[ab=18\]         ...(iii) \[\therefore \] \[{{(a-b)}^{2}}={{(a+b)}^{2}}-4ab\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a-b=\sqrt{{{9}^{2}}-4\times 18}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a-b=\sqrt{9}\] \[\Rightarrow \]         \[a-b=3\]          ...(iv) From Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get \[\therefore \] \[a=6,b=3\]
