Let two positive numbers a and b

So x = (a+b)/2 and a, y, z, b are in G.P.

If r is the common ratio of this G.P., then b=ar^{3}   

r = \left ( \frac{b}{a} \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}

So,  

\frac{y^{3}+z^{3}}{xyz} = \frac{a^{3}r^{3}+a^{3}r^{6}}{x\left ( ar \right )\left ( ar^{2} \right )}=\frac{a\left ( 1+r^{3} \right )}{x}=\frac{a+b}{\frac{a+b}{2}} = 2
