Statement-1 (A): If $(16)^{2 x+3}=(64)^{x+3}$, then $4^{2 x-2}=256$. Statement-2 (R): If $a \neq 0, \pm 1$, then $a^m=a^n \Rightarrow m=n$ and $\left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m n}$.
  • Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-3
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-3
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
Answer
Correct option: A.
Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-3
(a)
Clearly, statement- 2 is true as it is one of the laws of exponents. $ \begin{array}{ll} \text { Now, } & (16)^{2 x+3}=(64)^{x+3} \Rightarrow\left(2^4\right)^{2 x+3}=\left(2^6\right)^{x+3} \Rightarrow 2^{4(2 x+3)}=2^{6(x+3)} \Rightarrow 4(2 x+3)=6(x+3) \\ \Rightarrow & 8 x+12=6 x+18 \Rightarrow 2 x=6 \Rightarrow x=3 \\ \therefore & 4^{2 x - 2}=4^{6 - 2}=4^4=256 \end{array} $
So, statement-1 is also true. Also, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1. Hence option (a) is correct.

Statement-1 $(A): \left\{\left(a^{-1}+b^{-1}\right)\left(a^{-1}-b^{-1}\right)\right\} \div\left\{\left(\frac{1}{a^{-1}}-\frac{1}{b^{-1}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{a^{-1}}+\frac{1}{b^{-1}}\right)\right\}=1$.
Statement-2 ( $R$ ): For any $a \neq 0, a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$ and $a^m=\frac{1}{a^{-m}}$.
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-2
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-2
  • C
    Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
  • Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
Answer
Correct option: D.
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
(d)
We observe that statement-2 is true.
Now,
\begin{array}{l} \left\{\left(a^{-1}+b^{-1}\right)\left(a^{-1}-b^{-1}\right)\right\} \div\left\{\left(\frac{1}{a^{-1}}-\frac{1}{b^{-1}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{a^{-1}}+\frac{1}{b^{-1}}\right)\right\} \\ =\left\{\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}\right)\left(\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}\right)\right\} \div\{(a-b)(a+b)\} \\ =\left\{\left(\frac{a+b}{a b}\right)\left(\frac{b-a}{a b}\right)\right\} \div\{(a-b)(a+b)\}=-\frac{(a-b)(a+b)}{a^2 b^2} \div(a-b)(a+b)=-\frac{1}{a^2 b^2} \end{array}
So, statement-1 is not true. hence, option (d) is correct.

MCQ 31 Mark
Statement-1 (A): $\sqrt{\frac{81}{64} \sqrt{\frac{81}{64} \sqrt{\frac{81}{64} \sqrt{\frac{81}{64}}}}} \cdots \cdot x=\frac{9}{8}$,
Statement-2 (R): For any positive real number $x: \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x}}}}} \ldots x=x$.
  • A
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
  • B
    Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
  • Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
  • D
    Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
Answer
Correct option: C.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
(c)
$\begin{array}{l}\text { Let } y=\sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x}}}}} \ldots x . \text { Then } \\y^2=x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x \sqrt{x}}}} \ldots \infty \\\Rightarrow \quad y^2=x y \Rightarrow y^2-x y=0 \Rightarrow y(y-x)=0 \Rightarrow y-x=0 \Rightarrow y=x . \quad[\because y \neq 0]\end{array}$
So, statement- 2 is true. Using statement-2, we find that $\sqrt{\frac{81}{64} \sqrt{\frac{81}{64} \sqrt{\frac{81}{64} \sqrt{\frac{81}{64}}}}}, \ldots \infty=\frac{81}{64}$
So, statement-1 is not true. Hence, option (c) is correct.
