Statement II: (2)900 > (7)450
2 = 32
2900 = (22 x 450) = (22)450 = 4450
We may readily state that because the powers of 4 and 7 are equal and 7 is greater than 4.
(7)450 > (4)450 ⇒ (7)450 > (2)900
Statement 2 is false
Only Statement 1 is true
Alternate,
(7)450> (9)300
(73)150 > (92)150
⇒ (343)150 > (81)150 (Right)
(2)900 > (7)450
⇒ (22)450 > (7)450
⇒ (4)450 > (7)450 (Wrong)
Summary:
Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? (A) (7)450 > (9)300 (B) (2)900 > (7)450 (1) Only I (2) Only II (3) Both I and II (4) Neither I nor II
The statement (7)450 > (9)300 is true.
