Identify the greater number, wherever possible, in each of the following?

(i) 43 or 34 (ii) 53 or 35

(iii) 28 or 82 (iv) 100or 2100

(v) 210 or 102

Solution

(i) 43 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64

34 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81

Therefore, 34 > 43

(ii) 53 = 5 × 5 × 5 =125

35 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243

Therefore, 35 > 53

(iii) 28 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 256

82 = 8 × 8 = 64

Therefore, 28 > 82

(iv)1002 or 2100

210 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 1024

2100 = 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 × 1024 ×1024 × 1024

1002 = 100 × 100 = 10000

Therefore, 2100 > 1002

(v) 210 and 102

210 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 1024

102 = 10 × 10 = 100

Therefore, 210 > 102
