If $$a > 0,\,b > 0$$ and $$\,c > 0,$$ prove that $$\,c > 0,$$ prove that $$\left( {a + b + c} \right)\left( {{1 \over a} + {1 \over b} + {1 \over c}} \right) \ge 9$$

If $$n$$ is a natural number such that
$$n = {p_1}{}^{{\alpha _1}}{p_2}{}^{{\alpha _2}}.{p_3}{}^{{\alpha _3}}........{p_k}{}^{{\alpha _k}}$$ and $${p_1},{p_2},\,\,......,\,{p_k}$$ are distinct primes, then show that $$In$$ $$n \ge k$$ $$in$$ 2

Find three numbers $$a,b,c$$ between $$2$$ and $$18$$ such that
(i) their sum is $$25$$
(ii) the numbers $$2,$$ $$a, b$$ are consecutive terms of an A.P. and
(iii) the numbers $$b,c,18$$ are consecutive terms of a G.P.

Does there exist a geometric progression containing $$27, 8$$ and $$12$$ as three of its terms? If it exits, how many such progressions are possible ?
