First of all I would like to tell you that it is 'Algebra', Not 'Algbra' . For your question, I can give you a hint. You figure it out. we have to find maximum value of pq+qr+rp+pqr Divide and multiply this by pqr. So it becomes $$pqr(1/p+1/q+1/r+1)$$.Now by applying AM-GM inequality, find the maximum of pqr, Then use AM-HM inequality and fin maximum value of $$1/p+1/q+1/r$$ and that will lead you to the answer.
