I guess this works out

(aα + bα )1/α ≥ (a + b)1/α

(aβ + bβ )1/β ≥ (a+b)1/β

we can say that (a+b)1/β > (a + b)1/α

@Manmay..on dividing both sides by bα

This can be written as \left((\frac{a}{b})^{\alpha } + 1 ) \right)^{\frac{1}{\alpha }} = (p^{x} + 1)^{\frac{1}{x }}

where p is a constant = a/b

Now see the Functions..whether it's increasing or decreasing...
looking at the question it seems the function is decreasing for x > 0
