@Siddharth Chakravarty ,Is it correct?
Yes it is, simple solution 🙂
Let L = m n and R = 2 m n
lo g 2 L = lo g 2 ( m n ) and lo g 2 R = lo g 2 ( 2 m n )
lo g 2 L = n lo g 2 ( m ) and lo g 2 R = m n lo g 2 ( 2 )
lo g 2 L = n lo g 2 ( m ) and lo g 2 R = m n
Now, for all m ∈ Z + ,
lo g 2 m < m
n lo g 2 m < n m … ( as n > 0 )
lo g 2 L < lo g 2 R
Now, as lo g 2 x is continuous increasing function, so if lo g 2 x 1 < lo g 2 x 2 , then x 1 < x 2 . Therefore
L < R
m n < 2 m n
Great solution, and thanks for posting it😊

Nice question too. Thanku for sharing it. :)

Try solving it using no. of elements in a power set of a cartesian product of 2 sets and the no. of functions mapped over the cartesian product, the answer is obvious then.
Only prime numbers have two factors whose product equals the number itself . Hence x must be a prime number. It has factors 1 and x itself, such that m n = 1 or x , of which x ≥ 2 is the larger.
2 m n = 2 x , which is greater than x for all values of x ≥ 2 .
Sir you have misinterpreted the problem, the problem states we can take any 2 factors of the number, it does not say that it has only 2 factors. Although this is just a special case of the whole thing.
