The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is true, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Statement I: \[ \frac{2}{3\sqrt{5}} < \frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} < \frac{5}{4\sqrt{3}} \] 1. **Compare \(\frac{2}{3\sqrt{5}}\) and \(\frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}}\)**: - To compare these fractions, we can cross-multiply: \[ 2 \cdot 2\sqrt{5} < 3 \cdot 3\sqrt{5} \] - This simplifies to: \[ 4\sqrt{5} < 9\sqrt{5} \] - Since \(\sqrt{5} > 0\), we can divide both sides by \(\sqrt{5}\): \[ 4 < 9 \quad \text{(True)} \] 2. **Compare \(\frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}}\) and \(\frac{5}{4\sqrt{3}}\)**: - Again, we cross-multiply: \[ 3 \cdot 4\sqrt{3} < 5 \cdot 2\sqrt{5} \] - This simplifies to: \[ 12\sqrt{3} < 10\sqrt{5} \] - Squaring both sides to eliminate the square roots: \[ 144 \cdot 3 < 100 \cdot 5 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 432 < 500 \quad \text{(True)} \] Since both comparisons in Statement I are true, we conclude that Statement I is true. ### Statement II: \[ \frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} < \frac{2}{3\sqrt{3}} < \frac{7}{4\sqrt{5}} \] 1. **Compare \(\frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}}\) and \(\frac{2}{3\sqrt{3}}\)**: - Cross-multiply: \[ 3 \cdot 3\sqrt{3} < 2 \cdot 2\sqrt{5} \] - This simplifies to: \[ 9\sqrt{3} < 4\sqrt{5} \] - Squaring both sides: \[ 81 \cdot 3 < 16 \cdot 5 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 243 < 80 \quad \text{(False)} \] Since the first comparison in Statement II is false, we do not need to check the second comparison. Therefore, Statement II is false. ### Conclusion: - Statement I is true. - Statement II is false. Thus, the answer is that only Statement I is true. ---
