Re: BR Maths Corner-1
You are right So let me try differently Since a, b c are positive No's, We can use a^3 + b^3 >= a^2b + ab^2 Then 1 / ( 1 + acube + bcube ) <= 1 / ( 1 + a square b + absquare ) RHS becomes ABC / ( ABC + asquareb + a square ) Take out ab, you get c/( c + a + b ) Cyclically , original LHS <= ( a + b c ...

Why are bond yields rising when RBI is cutting interest rates at every opportunity ?
Is it that markets are not comfortable with govt borrowing levels and are signalling higher rates to satisfy the required deficit ?
