Answer
256 Solution: We have to find the value of 42x-2 provided (16)2x+3 = (64)x+3 So, (16)2x+3 = (64)x+3 (24)2x+3 = (26)x+3 28x+12 = 26x+18 Equating the power of exponents we get 8x +12 = 6x +18 8x - 6x = 18 - 12 2x = 6 $\text{x}=\frac{6}{2}$ x = 3 The value of 42x-2 is = 42x-2 = 42×3-2 = 46-2 = 44 = 256 Hence the correct alternative is b.
