The least number among $\sqrt[3]{4}, \sqrt[4]{5}, \sqrt[4]{7}$ and $\sqrt[3]{8}$

The least number among $\sqrt[3]{4}, \sqrt[4]{5}, \sqrt[4]{7}$ and $\sqrt[3]{8}$
  1. $\sqrt[3]{8}$
  2. $\sqrt[4]{7}$
  3. $\sqrt[3]{4}$
  4. $\sqrt[4]{5}$

Solution

We have, $\sqrt[3]{4}, \sqrt[4]{5}, \sqrt[4]{7}, \sqrt[3]{8}$ $\begin{gathered} \equiv(4)^{1 / 3},(5)^{1 / 4},(7)^{1 / 4},(8)^{1 / 3} \\ \equiv\left[(4)^{1 / 3}\right]^{12}, \\ {\left[(5)^{1 / 4}\right]^{12},\left[(7)^{1 / 4}\right]^{12},\left[(8)^{1 / 3}\right]^{12}} \\ =(4)^4,(5)^3,(7)^3,(8)^4 \end{gathered}$ Clearly, $(5)^3$ i.e., $\sqrt[4]{5}$ is least.
