Question

Say true or false and justify your answer: $2^3>5^2$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Let us solve the given exponential equation by considering Left Hand Side (LHS) and Right-Hand Side (RHS)

The Left-Hand Side (LHS) = $2^3$

Expansion of $2^3=2\times 2\times 2=8$

Consider RHS = $5^2$

Expansion of $5^2=5\times 5=25$

On comparing LHS and RHS,

LHS < RHS

$2^3$ < $5^2$

Hence, the given statement is false.
