Understanding the problem
We are given that P is the product, S is the sum, and A is the average of the first N natural numbers.
We need to determine which statement among the given options is definitely false.
Solution
To solve this problem, let's analyze each statement:
Statement 1: P = S > A
- The product of the first N natural numbers can be calculated as P = N!
- The sum of the first N natural numbers can be calculated as S = N(N+1)/2.
- The average of the first N natural numbers can be calculated as A = S/N.
Using these formulas, we can see that P is always greater than both S and A.
Hence, statement 1 is definitely false.
Statement 2: P > 5 > A
- The product of the first N natural numbers can be calculated as P = N!
- The sum of the first N natural numbers can be calculated as S = N(N+1)/2.
- The average of the first N natural numbers can be calculated as A = S/N.
Since P is always greater than both S and A, statement 2 is definitely true.
Statement 3: S > P > A
Since P is always greater than both S and A, statement 3 is definitely false.
Therefore, the correct answer is
Option 1: P = S > A, which is definitely false.
Note: The given options do not cover all possible combinations of the relations between P, S, and A. It is important to consider all possible scenarios and not assume that the options provided are exhaustive.
