MCQ 11 Mark
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 $\left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m n}$.

View full question & 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.

So, statement-1 is also true. Also, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1. Hence option (a) is correct.
