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

(i) 43 or 34

Solution:

The expansion of 43 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64

The expansion of 34 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81

Clearly,

64 < 81

Then, 43 < 34

Hence 34 is the greater number.

(ii) 53 or 35

Solution:

The expansion of 53 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

The expansion of 35 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3= 243

Clearly,

125 < 243

Then, 53 < 35

Hence, 35 is the greater number.

(iii) 28 or 82

Solution:

The expansion of 28 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 256

The expansion of 82 = 8 × 8= 64

Clearly,

256 > 64

Then, 28 > 82

Hence, 28 is the greater number.

(iv) 1002 or 2100

Solution:

The expansion of 1002 = 100 × 100 = 10000

The expansion of 214

214 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 =16384

Clearly,

1002 < 2100

Hence, 2100 is the greater number.

(v) 210 or 102

Solution:

The expansion of 210 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 1024

The expansion of 102 = 10 × 10= 100

Clearly,

1024 > 100

So, 210 > 102

Hence 210 is the greater number.
