If m is the A.M. of two distinct real numbers I and n I, n>1  and G1, G2 and G3 are three geometric means between I and n, then G14+2G24+G34 equals

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Given,mis the A.M. ofl & n. 

m=l+n2  ...1

G1, G2, G3are G.M. betweenl & n.

l, G1, G2, G3, nare in G.P.

n=lr4  ⇒r4=nl  ...2

G1=lr, G2=lr2, G3=lr3

G14+2G24+G34=l4r4+2×l4r8+l4×r12

=l4r41+2r4+r8

=l4×nl1+r42=l3n×1+nl2

=l3×n×l+n2l2

=ln×2m2(From (1))

=4lm2n
