  1. If P = (0.08)2, Q = 1/(0.08)2 and R = (1 – 0.08)2 – 1, then out of the following the true relation is
    1. Q < P and P = R
    2. P < Q and P = R
    3. Q < R < P
    4. R < P < Q
Correct Option: D

Given that in the question,
P = (0.08)2

Q =
1
=
10000
= 156.25
(0.08)2 64

R = (1 – 0.08)2 – 1
R = 1 + (0.08)2 – 2 × 0.08 – 1 = (0.08)2 – 2 × 0.08
Clearly, R < P < Q
