detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let A be the  arithmetic  mean  between  two numbers a and b, Again, let G1,andG2,  be  the two geometric mean between  two  numbers a  and b.  ∴ A=a+b2 and G1=ar,G2=ar2where r=ba12+1=ba1/3   ……(i)∴ G12G2+G22G1=a2r2ar2+a2r4ar=a+ar3=a+aba [∵ from Eq. (i) ]=a+b=2A ∵A=a+b2
