I Proof Using Rearrangement Inequality
The Rearrangement Inequality states that for two sequences ##{a_i}## and ##{b_i}##, the sum ##S_n = \sum_{i=1}^n a_ib_i## is maximized if ##a_i## and ##b_i## are similarly arranged. That is, big numbers are paired with big numbers and small numbers are paired with small numbers. The question...- James Brady
