probability - Binomial random variable expectation bound

Let X,YBin(n,0.5) for some positive n.



What is a lower bound for E(XY)? When is it achieved?



My try:



I got confused by the following two results and couldn't proceed!




By Jensen's, E(XY)E(X)E(Y). But we also know that cov(X,Y)=E(XY)E(X)E(Y), and this quantity can be negative!



Please help me to proceed. Thanks in advance!
