Quantitative AptitudeWe are given the two functions for :
1. Evaluating Statement (i): We determine the range of for which :
Since , we can divide both sides by :
Thus, for all , we have . For example, at , and , so . Hence, statement (i) is correct.
2. Evaluating Statement (ii):We find when $f(t) > g(t)$:
Dividing both sides by (since ):
Choosing , for every , holds true. Hence, statement (ii) is correct.
Therefore, both (i) and (ii) are correct, which corresponds to (C).
