HM= 2ab/a+b, GM= root ab ,AM=a+b/2
so.
2ab/a+b=4--------------- (1)
ab=2(a+b) &
a+b= ab/2
&2A=a+b
&G^2= ab
put the value in equation which is given in question.--------
a+b+ab= 27------------------(2)
ab/2+ab= 27
3ab=54
ab=18
or
a+b+2(a+b)=27 ---> a+b+2a+2b=27----> 3a+3b=27---> so. a+b= 9
so we can match the options for both value 9 &18 so ab= 18 thn 6*3=18 and a+b=9 so.. 6+3=9
