inequalities

[beater]

If x > 0, is x^2 < x ?
(1) 0.1 < x < 0.4
(2) x^3 < x^2

[namitrajiv]

D it is ,

we knw x >0 , thus x^2 will be less than x when 0<x<1

first statement says this only x is a fraction


2nd x^3 <x^2 , again this will happen only when x is a fraction
thus x^2 will be less than x
