Now, the AM

Explanation:
I am going to use the same notation as in this answer . In fact there is no real necessity of this solution (as the problem has already been solved quite nicely) - except that it illustrates the use of a technique I love very much!
According to the problem
Using componendo and dividendo (this is the favorite technique I alluded to above) we get
- which is the required AM : GM ratio.
