I'm gonna guess the second one?

Easy check is: 3^25 = (1.5^25)*2^25

So now the question becomes is 1.5^25 larger than 2^75? The answer is obviously no

Even easier check: 4^25 > 3^25

4^25 = 2^50

Yeah, this way is easier to compare as well,

2^100= 2^(4*25)= 16^25

and 3^25.

Therefore, 2^100 > 3^25 as 16^25 > 3^25.

I'm def not a math surgeon but I do find such things intriguing...

Last week I drove my ICE car 8 miles using 0.17 gallons of gasoline, which yields 47.058823529411 miles per gallon.

Yesterday I drove my EV car 56 miles using 11.9 kwh of electricity, which yields 4.7058823529411 miles per kwh.
