Best answer

(c) xy + yz + zx

Since x > 0, y > 0, z > 0, therefore 

(x – y)2 > 0, (y – z)2 > 0, (z – x)2 >

⇒ x2 + y2 – 2xy >

y2 + z2 – 2yz >

z2 + x2 – 2zx >

⇒ x2 + y2 > 2xy, y2 + z2 > 2yz, z2 + x2 > 2zx 

⇒ x2 + y2 + y2 + z2 + z2 + x2 > 2xy + 2yz + 2zx 

⇒ 2(x2 + y2 + z2) > 2(xy + yz + zx) 

x2 + y2 + z2 > xy + yz + zx.
