If $8^{x+1}=64$, what is the value of $3^{2 x+1}$ ?
AnswerWe have to find the value of $3^{2 x+1}$ provided $8^{x+1}=64$
So,
$2^{3(x+1)}=64$
$2^{3 x+3}=2^6$
Equating the exponents we get
$3 x+3=6$
$3 x=6-3$
$3 x=3$
$x=\frac{3}{3}$
$x=1$
By substitute in $3^{2 x+1}$ we get
$=3^{2 \times 1+1}$

If $\frac{2^{\text{m}+\text{n}}}{2^{\text{n}-\text{m}}}=16,\ \frac{3^\text{p}}{2^\text{n}}=81$ and $\text{a}=2^{\frac{1}{10}},$ then $\frac{\text{a}^{2\text{m}+\text{n}-\text{p}}}{(\text{a}^{\text{m}-2\text{n}+2\text{p}})^{-1}}=$
- ✓
$2$
- B
$\frac{1}{4}$
- C
$9$
- D
$\frac{1}{8}$
AnswerGiven: $\frac{2^{\text{m}+\text{n}}}{2^{\text{n}-\text{m}}}=16,\ \frac{3^\text{p}}{2^\text{n}}=81$ and $\text{a}=2^{\frac{1}{10}}$
To find: $\frac{\text{a}^{2{\text{m}+\text{n}-\text{p}}}}{(\text{a}^{\text{m}-2\text{n}+2\text{p}})^{-1}}$
Find: $\frac{2^{\text{m}+\text{n}}}{2^{\text{n}-\text{m}}}=16$
By using rational components $\frac{\text{a}^\text{m}}{\text{a}^\text{n}}=\text{a}^{\text{m}-\text{n}}$ We get
$2^{\text{m}+\text{n}-\text{n}+\text{m}}=16$
$2^{2\text{m}}=2^4$
By equating rational exponents we get
$2\text{m}=4$
$\text{m}=\frac{4}{2}$
$\text{m}=2$
Now, $\frac{\text{a}^{2\text{m}+\text{n}-\text{p}}}{(\text{a}^{\text{m}-2\text{n}+2\text{p}})}=(\text{a}^{2\text{m}+\text{n}-\text{p}}).(\text{a}^{\text{m}-2\text{n}+2\text{p})}$ we get
$=\text{a}^{2\text{mn}+\text{n}+\text{p}+\text{m}-2\text{n}+2\text{p}}$
$=\text{a}^{3\text{m}-\text{n}+\text{p}}$
Now putting value of $\text{a}=2^\frac{1}{10}$ we get,
$=2^{\frac{3\text{m}-\text{n}+\text{p}}{10}}$
$=2^{\frac{6-\text{n}+\text{p}}{10}}$
Also, $\frac{3^\text{p}}{3^\text{n}}=81$
$3^{\text{p}-\text{n}}=3^4$
On comparing $LHS$ and $RHS$ we get, $p - n = 4$.
Now,
$\frac{\text{a}^{2{\text{m}+\text{n}-\text{p}}}}{(\text{a}^{\text{m}-2\text{n}+2\text{p}})^{-1}}=\text{a}^{3\text{m}-\text{n}+\text{p}}$
$=2^{\frac{6+(\text{p}-\text{n})}{10}}$
$=2^{\frac{6+4}{10}}$
$=2^{\frac{10}{10}}=2^1$
$=2$
So, option $(a)$ is the correct answer.

- B
$\sqrt[2]{2}$
- C
$4$
- ✓
$64$
AnswerFor $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}^{1.5}}=8\text{x}^{-1}$ we have to find the value of $x$.
So,
$\frac{\text{x}^1}{\text{x}^{1.5}}=8\text{x}^{-1}$
$\text{x}^{1-1.5}8\text{x}^{-1}$
$\text{x}^{-0.5}=2^3\text{x}^{-1}$
$\frac{\text{x}^{0.5}}{\text{x}^{-1}}=2^3$
$\frac{\text{x}^{-\frac{5}{10}}}{\text{x}^{-1}}=2^3$
$\text{x}^{-\frac{1}{2}+1}=2^3$
$\text{x}^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{2}}=2^3$
$\text{x}^{\frac{-1+2}{2}}=2^3$
$\text{x}^{\frac{1}{2}}=2^3$
By raising both sides to the power $2$ we get
$\text{x}^{\frac{1}{2}\times2}=2^{3\times2}$
$\text{x}^{\frac{1}{2}\times2}=2^6$
$\text{x}^1=64$
The value of $x$ is $64$

We have to find the value of m for $\Bigg[\bigg\{\Big(\frac{1}{7^2}\Big)^{-2}\bigg\}^{-\frac{1}{3}}\Bigg]^{\frac{1}{4}}=7^{\text{m}},$
$\Rightarrow\bigg[\Big\{\frac{1}{7^{2\times-2}}^{-2}\Big\}^{-\frac{1}{3}}\bigg]^{\frac{1}{4}}=7^{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\bigg[\Big\{\frac{1}{7^{-4}}\Big\}^{-\frac{1}{3}}\bigg]^{\frac{1}{4}}=7^{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\Bigg[\bigg\{\frac{1}{7^{-4\times\frac{-1}{3}}}\bigg\}^{-\frac{1}{3}}\Bigg]^{\frac{1}{4}}=7^{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\Bigg[\bigg\{\frac{1}{7^{\frac{4}{3}}}\bigg\}\Bigg]^{\frac{1}{4}}=7^{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\Bigg[\frac{1}{7^{\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{1}{4}}}\Bigg]=7^{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\Bigg[\frac{1}{7^{\frac{1}{3}}}\Bigg]=7^{\text{m}}$
By using rational exponents $\frac{1}{\text{a}^{\text{n}}}=\text{a}^{-\text{n}}$
$7^{\frac{-1}{3}}=7^{\text{m}}$
Equating power of exponents we get $-\frac{1}{3}=\text{m}$

$125$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $25\sqrt{5}$
We have to find the value of $(2\text{x})^\text{x}$ if $4\text{x}-4^{\text{x}-1}=24$
So,
Taking $4x$ as common factor we get
$4\text{x}(1-4^{-1})=24$
$4\text{x}\Big(1-\frac{1}{4}\Big)=24$
$4\text{x}\Big(\frac{1\times4}{1\times4}-\frac{1}{4}\Big)=24$
$4^4\Big(\frac{4-1}{4}\Big)=24$
$4^\text{x}\times\frac{3}{4}=24$
$4^\text{x}=24\times\frac{4}{3}$
$4^\text{x}=32$
$2^{2\text{x}}=2^{5}$
By equating powers of exponents we get
$2\text{x}=5$
$\text{x}=\frac{5}{2}$
By substituting $\text{x}=\frac{5}{2}$ in $(2\text{x})^\text{x}$ we get
$(2\text{x})^\text{x}=\Big(2\times\frac{5}{2}\Big)^{\frac{5}{2}}$
$=\Big(2\times\frac{5}{2}\Big)^{\frac{5}{2}}$
$=5^{\frac{5}{2}}$
$=5^{5\times\frac{1}{2}}$
$(2\text{x})^\text{x}=\sqrt[2]{5^5}$
$=\sqrt[2]{5\times5\times5\times5}$
$=5\times5\times^\sqrt[2]{5}$
$=25\sqrt{5}$
Hence the correct choice is $c$.

AnswerWe have to find the value of $\sqrt{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}}\times\sqrt{\text{b}^{-1}\text{c}}\times\sqrt{\text{c}^{-1}\text{a}}$ when $a, b, c$ are positive real numbers.
So,
$\sqrt{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}}\times\sqrt{\text{b}^{-1}\text{c}}\times\sqrt{\text{c}^{-1}\text{a}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{a}}\times\text{b}}\times\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{b}}\times\text{c}}\times\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{c}}\times}\text{a}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}}\times\sqrt{\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}}\times\sqrt{\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}}$
Taking square root as common we get
$\sqrt{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}}\times\sqrt{\text{b}^{-1}\text{c}}\times\sqrt{\text{c}^{-1}\text{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\times\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}\times\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}}$
$\sqrt{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}}\times\sqrt{\text{b}^{-1}\text{c}}\times\sqrt{\text{c}^{-1}\text{a}}=1$
Hence the correct alternative is $a$.

Given $\text{t}=64,\ \text{g}=\text{t}^{\frac{2}{3}}+4\text{t}^{\frac{1}{2}}.$ We have to find the value of $g$
So,
$\text{g}=\text{t}^{\frac{2}{3}}+4\text{t}^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
$\text{g}=64^{\frac{2}{3}}+4\times64^{\frac{1}{2}}$
$\text{g}=(64)^{\frac{2}{3}}+4\times\frac{1}{64^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
$\text{g}=2^{6\times\frac{2}{3}}+4\times\frac{1}{2^{6\times\frac{1}{2}}}$
$\text{g}=2^{2\times2}+4\times\frac{1}{2^3}$
$\text{g}=2^4+4\times\frac{1}{8}$
$\text{g}=16+\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{g}=\frac{16\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{g}=\frac{32}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{g}=\frac{32+1}{2}$
$\text{g}=\frac{33}{2}$
The value of $g$ is $\frac{33}{2}$
Hence the correct choice is $b$.

$=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}}$
$=\frac{1}{\frac{1\times\text{y}}{\text{x}\times\text{y}}+\frac{1\times\text{x}}{\text{y}\times\text{x}}}$
$=\frac{1}{\frac{\text{y}}{\text{xy}}+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{xy}}}$
$\big(\text{x}^{-1}+\text{y}^{-1}\big)^{-1}=\frac{1}{\frac{\text{y}+\text{x}}{\text{xy}}}$
$=\frac{\text{xy}}{\text{y}+\text{x}}$

By raising both sides to the power $\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{x}^{2\times\frac{1}{2}}=2^{\frac{1}{2}}$
$\text{x}^{2\times\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{2}$
$\text{x}=\sqrt{2}$
By substituting $\text{x}=\sqrt{2}$ in $x^3$ we get
$\text{x}^3\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^3$
$=\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2}$
$=2\sqrt{2}$
The value of $x^3$ is $2\sqrt{2}$
Hence the correct choice is $b$.

If $(16)^{2 x+3}=(64)^{x+3}$, then $4^{2 x-2}=$
AnswerWe have to find the value of $4^{2 x-2}$ provided $(16)^{2 x+3}=(64)^{x+3}$
So,
$(16)^{2 x+3}=(64)^{x+3}$
$\left(2^4\right)^{2 x+3}=\left(2^6\right)^{x+3}$
$2^{8 x+12}=2^{6 x+18}$
Equating the power of exponents we get
$8 x+12=6 x+18$
$8 x-6 x=18-12$
$2 x=6$
$x=\frac{6}{2}$
$x=3$
The value of $4^{2 x-2}$ is
$=4^{2 x-2}$
$=4^{2 \times 3-2}$
$=4^{6-2}$

AnswerCorrect option: D. $\sqrt{\frac{100}{9}}\times\sqrt{\frac{100}{9}}\times\sqrt{\frac{100}{9}}$
We have to find the value of $\Big(\frac{100}{9}\Big)^{-\frac{3}{2}}$
So,
$\Big(\frac{100}{9}\Big)^{-\frac{3}{2}}=\Big(\frac{10^2}{3^2}\Big)^{-\frac{3}{2}}$
$=\frac{10^{2\times\frac{3}{2}}}{3^{2\times\frac{3}{2}}}$
$=\frac{10^{-3}}{3^{-3}}$
$\Big(\frac{100}{9}\Big)^{-\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{\frac{1}{10^3}}{\frac{1}{3^3}}$
$=\frac{1}{10\times10\times10}\times\frac{3\times3\times3}{1}$
$=\frac{3\times3\times3}{10\times10\times10}$
Since, $\Big(\frac{100}{9}\Big)^{-\frac{3}{2}}$ is equal to $\Big(\frac{100}{9}\Big)^{\frac{3}{2}},\ \frac{1}{\Big(\frac{100}{9}\Big)^{\frac{3}{2}}},\ \frac{3\times3\times3}{10\times10\times10}.$
Hence the correct choice is $d$.

So,
$10^{\frac{\text{x}}{2}+1}=10^{\text{x}\times\frac{1}{2}}\times10^1$
$=\sqrt[2]{10^\text{x}}\times10^1$
By substituting $10^\text{x}=64$ we get
$=\sqrt[2]{64}\times10^1$
$=\sqrt[2]{8\times8}\times10$
$=8\times10$
$=80$

- ✓
$\frac{1}{5}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $\frac{1}{5}$
We have to find the value of $10^{-y}$ Given that $10^{2 y}=25$, therefore,
$10^{2 y}=25$
$\left(10^y\right)^2=5^2$
$\left(10^y\right)^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}}=5^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}}$
$\frac{10^y}{1}=\frac{5}{1}$
$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{10^y}$
$\frac{1}{5}=10^y$
Hence the correct option is $d$.

If $\text{x}^{-2}=64,$ then $\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}+\text{x}^0=$
- A
$2$
- B
$3$
- ✓
$\frac{3}{2}$
- D
$\frac{2}{3}$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\frac{3}{2}$
We have to find the value of $\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}+\text{x}^0$ if $\text{x}^{-2}=64$
Consider,
$\text{x}^{-2}=2^6$
$\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}=2^6$
Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ on both sides of powers we get
$\frac{1}{\text{x}^{2\times\frac{1}{2}}}=2^{6\times\frac{1}{6}}$
$\frac{1}{\text{x}}=2^3$
$\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{8}{1}$
By taking reciprocal on both sides we get,
$\frac{1}{8}=\text{x}$
Substituting $\frac{1}{8}$ in $\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}+\text{x}^0$ we get
$=\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^{\frac{1}{3}}+\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^0$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{2^2}\Big)^{\frac{1}{3}}+\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^0$
$=\frac{1}{2^{3\times\frac{1}{3}}}+1$
$=\frac{1}{2^1}+1$
$=\frac{1}{2}+1$
By taking least common multiply we get
$=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1\times2}{1\times2}$
$=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{2}$
$=\frac{1+2}{2}$
$=\frac{3}{2}$
Hence the correct choice is $c$.

$\sqrt{5^\text{n}}=125$
$5^{\text{n}\times\frac{1}{2}}=5^3$
$\frac{\text{n}}{2}=3$
$\text{n}=3\times2$
$\text{n}=6$
Substitute $\text{n}=6$ in $5^{\sqrt[\text{n}]{64}}$ to get
$5^{\sqrt[\text{n}]{64}}=5^{2^{6\times\frac{1}{6}}}$
$=5\times5$
$=25$
Hence the value of $5^{\sqrt[\text{n}]{64}}$ is $25$

Substitute $x = 2, y = 4,$ in $\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)^{\text{x}-\text{y}}+\Big(\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{y}-\text{x}}$ to get,
$\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)^{\text{x}-\text{y}}+\Big(\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{y}-\text{x}}$
$=\Big(\frac{2}{4}\Big)^{2-4}+\Big(\frac{4}{2}\Big)^{4-2}$
$=\Big(\frac{2}{4}\Big)^{-2}+\Big(\frac{4}{2}\Big)^{2}$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{-2}+(2)^2$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{2^{-2}}\Big)+4$
$\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)^{\text{x}-\text{y}}+\Big(\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{y}-\text{x}}$
$=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2^2}}+4$
$=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}+4$

We find that $\left\{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{1 / 5}\right\}^{-1 / 6}=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{5} \times-\frac{1}{6}}=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-\frac{1}{30}},\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6}}=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{30}}$
$1 \div\left\{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}\right\}^{\frac{1}{6}}=1 \div\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{6}}=1 \div\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{30}}=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-\frac{1}{30}}$, and, $\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^{1 / 30}=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-1 / 30}$
Hence, option (a) is correct.

The value of$\sqrt{\sqrt[x]{2^x \sqrt[x^2]{3^{x^3} \sqrt[x^3]{6^{x^6 } \sqrt[ x^4]{9^{x^{10}}}}}}}$ is
AnswerWe find that $\sqrt[x^4]{9^{x^{10}}}=\left(9^{x^{10}}\right)^{\frac{1}{x^4}}=9^{x^{10} \times \frac{1}{x^4}}=9 x^6$
$\therefore \quad \sqrt[x^3]{6^{x^6} \sqrt[x^4]{9^{x^{10}}}}$ = $\sqrt[x^3]{6^{x^6} \times 9^{x^6}}=\sqrt[x^3]{(6 \times 9)^{x^6}}=\left\{(6 \times 9)^{x^6}\right\}^{\frac{1}{x^3}}=(54)^{x^6 \times \frac{1}{x^3}}=(54)^{x^3}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt[x^2]{3^{x^3} \sqrt[x^3]{6^{x^6 } \sqrt[x^4]{9^{x^{10}}}}}$ = $=\sqrt[x^2]{3^{x^3}(54)^{x^3}}=\sqrt[x^2]{(3 \times 54)^{x^3}}$ = $\left\{(162)^{x^3}\right\}^{\frac{1}{x^2}}$ $=(162)^x$
$\sqrt{\sqrt[x]{2^x \sqrt[x^2]{3^{x^3} \sqrt[x^3]{6^{x^6 } \sqrt[ x^4]{9^{x^{10}}}}}}}$ = $\sqrt[x]{2^x(162)^x}$ = $\left\{(2 \times 162)^x\right\}^{\frac{1}{x}}=324$
Hence, required value $=\sqrt{324}=18$.

The value of $\sqrt{3^2 \sqrt{9^2 \sqrt{81^2 \sqrt{16^{16}}}}}$ is equal to
- A
$6 \times 2^4$
- B
$3^3 \times 2$
- C
$6^3 \times 2^3$
- D
$6^3 \times 2$
Answer$\sqrt{3^2 \sqrt{9^2 \sqrt{81^2 \sqrt{16^{16}}}}}$
$=\sqrt{3^2 \sqrt{9^2 \sqrt{81^2 \times 16^8}}} \quad\left[\because \sqrt{16^{16}}=\left(16^{16}\right)^{1 / 2}=16^{16 \times 1 / 2}=16^8\right]$
$=\sqrt{3^2 \sqrt{9^2 \times 81 \times 16^4}} \quad\left[\because \sqrt{81^2 \times 16^8}=\left(81^2 \times 16^8\right)^{1 / 2}=81^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}} \times 16^{8 \times \frac{1}{2}}=81 \times 16^4\right]$
$=\sqrt{3^2 \times 9 \times 9 \times 16^2} \quad\left[\because \sqrt{9^2 \times 81 \times 16^4}=\left(9^2 \times 81 \times 16^4\right)^{1 / 2}=9^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}} \times\left(9^2\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} \times 16^{4 \times \frac{1}{2}}=9 \times 9 \times 16^2\right]$
$\sqrt{3^2 \ \times\ 3^2\ \times\ 3^2\ \times\ 16^2}$
$\left(3^6\times16^2\right)^{1 / 2}=3^{6 \times \frac{1}{2}}, 16^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}} = 3^3\times16=3^3\times2^3\times 2=(3\times2)^3\times 2=6^3 \times 2$

If $\frac{3^{5 x} \times 81^2 \times 6561}{3^{2 x}}=3^7$,then the value of x is
Answer(b)
We have,$\frac{3^{5 x} \times 81^2 \times 6561}{3^{2 x}}=3^7$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3^{5 x} \times\left(3^4\right)^2 \times 3^8}{3^{2 x}}=3^7 \Rightarrow 3^{5 x} \times 3^8 \times 3^8=3^{2 x} \times 3^7 \Rightarrow 3^{5 x+16}=3^{2 x+7} \Rightarrow 5 x+16=2 x+7 \Rightarrow 3 x-9 \Rightarrow x-3$

$\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \ldots .} 4 \text { terms }}}$ is equal to
- A
$\sqrt[16]{11^5}$
- B
$\sqrt[16]{11}$
- C
$\sqrt[16]{11^{14}}$
- ✓
$\sqrt[16]{11^{15}}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $\sqrt[16]{11^{15}}$
(d)
Let $x=\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \ldots .} 4 \text { terms }}}$. Then,
$x=\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \sqrt{11}}}}=\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \times 11^{1 / 2}}}}=\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \sqrt{11^{3 / 2}}}}=\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \times\left(11^{3 / 2}\right)^{1 / 2}}}$
$\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11 \times 11^{3 / 4}}}=\sqrt{11 \sqrt{11^{7 / 4}}}=\sqrt{11 \times 11^{7 / 8}}=\sqrt{11^{1+\frac{7}{8}}}=\sqrt{11^{15 / 8}}=\left(11^{15 / 8}\right)^{1 / 2}$
$=(11)^{\frac{15}{8} \times \frac{1}{2}}=11^{15 / 16}=\sqrt[16]{11^{15}}$
