In an earlier paper the author and \textit{C. J. Goh} [J. Inequal. Appl. 1, No. 4, 311-325 (1997; Zbl 0886.26010)] applied Jensen's inequality to the concave function \(\log\), and the inequality \(\log x-\log y\leq (x-y)/y\), to obtain \[ 0\leq \log\sum_{i=1}^np_i \xi_i- \sum_{i=1}^np_i\log \xi_i\leq{1\over 2} \sum_{i,j= 1}^n p_ip_j{(\xi_i- \xi_j)^2\over \xi_i \xi_j}. \] If \(a\leq \xi_i\leq b, 1\leq i\leq n\), the author uses the convex functions \(g_1= \log x-{x^2\over 2b^2}, g_2(x) ={x^2\over 2a^2} + \log x\) and Jensen's inequality to get \[ {1\over 4b^2} \sum_{i,j= 1}^n p_ip_j{(\xi_i- \xi_j)^2\over \xi_i \xi_j}\leq \log\sum_{i=1}^np_i \xi_i- \sum_{i=1}^np_i\log \xi_i\leq{1\over 4a^2} \sum_{i,j= 1}^n p_ip_j{(\xi_i- \xi_j)^2\over \xi_i \xi_j}. \] These inequalities are used to obtain upper bounds for the ratios \(\mathfrak A_n/\mathfrak G_n\) and \(\mathfrak G_n/ \mathfrak H_n\).
