Given:

The following inequalities:


\frac{\sqrt[]{a}}{a}>1\rightrightarrows\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{a}}

When 0 < a < 1

So, the denominator will be always < 1

so, all the fraction will be greater than 1

So, the first inequality True


\begin{gathered} 2a<1 \\ a<(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

when 0 < a < 1

The inequality will be true as a < 1/2

The inequality will be wrong when a >1/2

So, the second inequality is wrong


\begin{gathered} a^2-a^3<0 \\ a^2(1-a)<0 \end{gathered}

The inequality true when a >1

so, for 0 < a < 1, the inequality is wrong

So, the answer will be option A. I only
