when x is between 0 and 1 such as in this case

we have in general

\(x^3<x^2<x<\sqrt{x}\)
So we have

\(R=(0.0055)^2\) < \(P = (0.0055)\) < \(Q = \sqrt{(0.0055)}\)

B. Q > P > R

\(Q = \sqrt{(0.0055)}\) > \(P = (0.0055)\) > \(R=(0.0055)^2\)


C. R < Q < P

\(R=(0.0055)^2\) < \(P = (0.0055)\) < \(Q = \sqrt{(0.0055)}\)

Both are correct

You are right

The book is clearly wrong because for C to be correct should be the reverse of B

B is Q>P>R

C should be R<P<Q
