Of the following statements, the only one that is incorrect is: $ \textbf{(A)}$ An inequality will remain true after each side is increased, decreased, multiplied or divided (zero excluded) by the same positive quantity. $ \textbf{(B)}$ The arithmetic mean of two unequal positive quantities is greater than their geometric mean. $ \textbf{(C)}$ If the sum of two positive quantities is given, ther product is largest when they are equal. $ \textbf{(D)}$ If $ a$ and $ b$ are positive and unequal, $ \frac {1}{2}(a^2 \plus{} b^2)$ is greater than $ [\frac {1}{2}(a \plus{} b)]^2$. $ \textbf{(E)}$ If the product of two positive quantities is given, their sum is greatest when they are equal.
