Detailed Solution

Given:  a,b,c and d are four real numbers of the same sign.

To find: value of ab+bc+cd+da lies in which interval.

The arithmetic mean is greater than geometric mean for three positive numbers x,y,z. This can be written as x+y+z3xyz13

Where equality holds when x=y=z.

Applying AMGM for ab+bc+cd and da,

         ab+bc+cd+da4ab×bc×cd×da14              ab+bc+cd+da4      ab+bc+cd+da4, 

Hence, option (d) is correct.
