Abstract

This article provides a proof that the Ramanujan's Inequality given by, π(x)2<exlogxπ(xe)\pi(x)^2 < \frac{e x}{\log x} \pi\Big(\frac{x}{e}\Big) holds unconditionally for every xexp(43.5102147)x\geq \exp(43.5102147). In case for an alternate proof of the result stated above, we shall exploit certain estimates involving the Chebyshev Theta Function, ϑ(x)\vartheta(x) in order to derive appropriate bounds for π(x)\pi(x), which'll lead us to a much improved condition for the inequality proposed by Ramanujan to satisfy unconditionally.
