(i) 115 and 73
By cross multiplication,
5 × 7 = 35 and 11 × 3 = 33
Since 35 > 33, therefore, 115>73.
Hence, 115>73.
(ii) 158 and 53
By cross multiplication,
8 × 5 = 40 and 15 × 3 = 45
Since 40 < 45, therefore, 158<53.
Hence, 158<53.
(iii) 1411 and 3529
LCM of 14 and 35 = 70.
⇒1411=14×511×5=7055⇒3529=35×229×2=7058
As 55 < 58,
7055<7058⇒1411<3529.
Hence, 1411<3529.
(iv) 2713 and 4815
By cross multiplication,
13 × 48 = 624 and 27 × 15 = 405
Since 624 > 405, therefore, 2713>4815.
Hence, 2713>4815.
