Finite moments under a Pareto tail

Let X1,X2,…,XnX_{1},X_{2},…,X_{n} (n≥2)(n\ge 2) be independent and identically distributed random variables with probability density function f(x)={1x2,x≥10,otherwise.f(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{1}{x^{2}},&x\ge 1\\0,&\text{otherwise}.\end{cases} Then, which of the following random variables has/have finite expectation?
