This questions been a bugger, which numbers seem right you can pick more than one... Im thinking definately 1 and either 3 or 4

If you look on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, you'll see that mass directly relates to luminosity. The larger a star the more luminous. Giants and Supergiants have the greatest masses and hence the greater luminosities. So 1 and 3 would go together.

2 and 4 are correct.

First consider mass: The stars with the greatest mass "burn" (i.e. fuse hydrogen) much brighter, much hotter. They get to the fusion limit (iron core) much faster than small mass stars. Small mass stars can "live" hundreds of millions of years; large mass stars mere millions. (Answer 2)

Now, think of luminosity: the long-lived stars are the less massive ones. They put out less energy per second, and are smaller so they have a much smaller radiating surface. Thus they are very much less luminous than the large mass stars. (Answer 4.)

Do you mean AED (Dirhams)? if it fairly is so then 10000 a month should not be alot specially on a similar time as you do no longer forget approximately housing - my residence expenses me 12000 a month on my own and thats now no longer even in the centre of abu dhabi. honestly particular which you would be able to stay applicable here on that throughout spite of the undeniable fact that it fairly is going to be tight.
