The stated inequality means following things:
X,Y>0 ; X,Y≠1 (for logs to be defined)
X>Y for X,Y>1or X,Y<1 (again from properties of log if logab>c then b>ac for a>1 otherwise b<ac )
X<Y for X>1,Y<1orX<1,Y>1(condition X<Y for X>1,Y<1 is impossible.)
Now curve clearly shows that Y>X & Y>1.So Mr.Safe will be safe after X=1.
