Solution
The correct option is A Is true If we write, the expression as a21a1a2+a1a3+a22a2a3+a2a4+a23a3a4+a3a5+a24a4a5+a4a1+a25a5a1+a5a2 Which we know is, ≥(a1+a2+a3+a4+a5)2∑alam
Now, we have (a1+a2+a3+a4+a5)2=∑(a2n)+2(alam)
If the condition in option (A) was True, then 2(a21+a22+a23+a24+a25)+4∑alam≥5∑alam which reduces to ∑(al−am)2≥0
