Nice and short solution Sir
Let 2 1 0 0 =x
log 2 1 0 0 =logx
100log2=logx
30.102=logx
10 3 0 . 1 0 2 =x
Let 3 7 0 =y
log3 7 0 =logy
70log3=logy
33.398=logy
10 3 3 . 3 9 8 =y
100 1 0 =10 2 0
And definitely 10 2 0 =10 2 0
Hence, 3 7 0 is greatest
Since we are comparing positive integers, we can take 1 0 th root of all of them. 1 0 3 7 0 = 3 7 = 2 1 8 7 -greatest 1 0 2 1 0 0 = 2 1 0 = 1 0 2 4 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 = 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 = 1 0 2 = 1 0 0 ∴ 3 7 0 is the greatest!
Excellent solution Vinayak. Thanku for sharing it with us.

Thank you! But I think this is basics, so not a big feat to solve, your other problems are more difficult!

@Vinayak Srivastava – I'll see to it.
@Vinayak Srivastava – Yes it is correct. Check out my solution. :)
Similar to @Aryan Sanghi 's solution but I want to share it anyway. So we know that one can find the number of digits of a positive integer with a formula
# d i g i t s i n x = ⌊ l g ( x ) ⌋ + 1
We know
1 0 2 0 = 1 0 2 ⋅ 1 0 = ( 1 0 2 ) 1 0 = 1 0 0 1 0
And the number of digits:
# d i g i t s i n 1 0 2 0 = ⌊ l g ( 1 0 2 0 ) ⌋ + 1 = ⌊ 2 0 ⌋ + 1 = 2 1
Let's apply this formula to other numbers too:
# d i g i t s i n 2 7 0 = ⌊ l g ( 2 7 0 ) ⌋ + 1 = 3 1
# d i g i t s i n 3 7 0 = ⌊ l g ( 3 7 0 ) ⌋ + 1 = 3 4
So from this, we can conclude that 3 7 0 is the largest
Excellent solution sir

Note that 1 0 0 1 0 = ( 1 0 2 ) 1 0 = 1 0 2 0 . Now consider 1 0 2 0 2 1 0 0 = 2 2 0 5 2 0 2 1 0 0 = 5 2 0 2 8 0 = 5 2 0 1 6 2 0 > 1 , ⟹ 2 1 0 0 > 1 0 2 0 = 1 0 0 1 0 . And 2 1 0 0 3 7 0 = 2 ( 8 3 3 ) 9 3 5 > 8 3 4 9 3 5 > 1 , ⟹ 3 7 0 > 2 1 0 0 > 1 0 2 0 = 1 0 0 1 0 . Therefore, 3 7 0 is the greatest.
