  4. D 5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have,
\(\begin{aligned}
&P(n)=2^{n} < n ! \\
&P(1)=2 < 1 ! \text { False }
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
&P(2)=2^{2} < 2 ! \text { False } \\
&P(3)=2^{3} < 3 \text { ! False } \\
&P(4)=2^{4} < 4 \text { ! True }
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore\) The smallest position integer for which \(P(n)\) is true for \(n=4\).
