    a - false

    b - true

    c - true

    d - false

    e - false

    f - false

    Explanation:

    from the question

    radius of the sun = 700,000,000

    radius of Venus = 6,000,000

    radius of Betelheuse = 500,0000,000,000

    a) this says the radius of the sun 7 x 10^7 = 70,000,000 (having seven zeros) and this is not equal to what we were initially given in our question hence its false

    b) this says the radius of the sun is 7 x 10^8 = 700,000,000 (having seven zeros) while radius of Betelheuse is 5 x 10^11 = 500,0000,000,000 (having eleven zeros) which is the same as the value we were given in the question.

    c) this says the radius of Venus is 6 x 10^6 = 6,000,000 (having seven zeros) while radius of the sun is 7 x 10^8 = 700,000,000 (having eleven zeros) which is the same as the value we were given in the question.

    d) this says the radius of Venus is 6 x 10^7 = 60,000,000 (having seven zeros) while radius of Betelheuse is 5 x 10^11 = 500,0000,000,000 (having eleven zeros) which is not the same as the value we were given in the question.

    this applies for (e) and (f) also
