Solution

The correct option is A 9
Given that a+b+c=3
we know that A.M.G.M.

x+y2xy

let x=4a+1,y=1

therefore, 4a+1+12(4a+1)(1)

4a+224a+1

2a+14a+1

4a+12a+1 --------(1)

similarly, 4b+12b+1 --------(2)

and 4c+12c+1 --------(3)

adding (1), (2) and (3) we get

4a+1+4b+1+4c+12a+1+2b+1+2c+1

4a+1+4b+1+4c+12(a+b+c)+3

4a+1+4b+1+4c+12(3)+3

4a+1+4b+1+4c+19

therefore, the greatest value of 4a+1+4b+1+4c+1 is 9
