First of all by Rearrangement inequality we can assume a > b > c
⇒ ∴ a 2 + b 2 + c 2 ≥ a b + b c + c a
⇒ 1 ≥ a b + b c + c a
Means Y = 1
And we know that ( a + b + c ) 2 ≥ 0 (As a , b , c are reals)
∴ a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2 a b + 2 b c + 2 c a ≥ 0
∴ 1 + 2 ( a b + b c + c a ) ≥ 0
∴ ( a b + b c + c a ) ≥ 2 − 1
∴ X = 2 1 = 0 . 5
⇒ X + Y = 1 . 5
