MCQ
If ${\log _e}\left( {{{a + b} \over 2}} \right) = {1 \over 2}({\log _e}a + {\log _e}b)$, then relation between $a$ and $b$ will be
  • $a = b$
  • B
    $a = {b \over 2}$
  • C
    $2a = b$
  • D
    $a = {b \over 3}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$a = b$
a
(a) ${\log _e}\left( {{{a + b} \over 2}} \right) = {1 \over 2}({\log _e}a + {\log _e}b)$

$ = {1 \over 2}{\log _e}(ab) = {\log _e}\sqrt {ab} $

$ \Rightarrow {{a + b} \over 2} = \sqrt {ab} \,\, \Rightarrow a + b = 2\sqrt {ab} $

==> $\,a = b$.
