MCQ 31 Mark
If $\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{-5}\times\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{11}=\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{8\text{x}}, \text{then x}=?$
  • A
    $-\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $-\frac{3}{4}$
  • $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{3}{4}$

$\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{-5}\times\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{11}=\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{8\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{-5+11}=\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{8\text{x}}$ $\Big(\text{As, }\text{x}^{\text{m}\times\text{n}}=\text{x}^{\text{m+n}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{6}=\Big(\frac{5}{3}\Big)^{8\text{x}}$
Comparing the exponent of both the sides, we get:
$8\text{x}=6$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{6}{8}$
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$

MCQ 41 Mark
If $3^{ x }=6561$, then $3^{x-3}=$
  • A
    $81$
  • $243$
  • C
    $729$
  • D
    $27$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$243$
$3^x=6561$
$\Rightarrow 3^x=3^8$
Comparing the exponent of both the sides, we get:
$x=8$
Now, $3^{x-3}=3^{8-3}$
$=3^5=243$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(b).$

If $a =3^{-3}-3^3$ and $b =3^3-3^{-3}$, then $\frac{ a }{ b }-\frac{ b }{ a }=$
  • $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $-1$
  • D
    $2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$
Since,
$\text{a}=3^{-3}-3^3$
$=\frac{1}{3^3}-3^3$ $\Big(\text{As},\text{x}^{-\text{m}}=\frac{1}{\text{x}^{\text{m}}}\Big)$
$=\frac{1}{27}-\frac{27}{1}$
$=\frac{1}{27}-\frac{27\times27}{1\times27}$
$=\frac{1}{27}-\frac{729}{27}$
$=\frac{1-729}{27}$
$=\frac{-728}{27}$
Also, $\text{b}=3^3-3^{-3}$
$=3^3-\frac{1}{3^3}$ $\Big(\text{As, }\text{x}^{-\text{m}}=\frac{1}{\text{x}^{\text{m}}}\Big)$
$=\frac{27}{1}-\frac{1}{27}$
$=\frac{27\times27}{1\times27}-\frac{1}{27}$
$=\frac{729}{27}-\frac{1}{27}$
$=\frac{729-1}{27}$
$=\frac{728}{27}$
Now,
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$
$=\frac{\Big(\frac{-728}{27}\Big)}{\Big(\frac{728}{27}\Big)}-\frac{\Big(\frac{728}{27}\Big)}{\Big(\frac{-728}{27}\Big)}$
$=(-1)-(-1)$

If $2^n=1024$, then $2^{\left(\frac{n}{2}+2\right)}=$
  • A
    $64$
  • $128$
  • C
    $256$
  • D
    $512$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$128$
As, $2^n=1024$
$\Rightarrow 2^n=2^{10}$
Comparing the exponent of both the sides, we get:
$n = 10$
Now,
$2^{\Big(\frac{\text{n}}{2}+2\Big)}$
$=2^{\Big(\frac{\text{10}}{2}+2\Big)}$
$=2^{(5+2)}$
$=2^7$
$=128$

What should be multiplied to $6^{-2}$ so that the product may be equal to $216$ ?
  • A
    $6^4$
  • $6^5$
  • C
    $6^3$
  • D
    $6$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$6^5$
Since,
Let $6^{ m }$ should be multiplied to $6^{-2}$
$\text{A.T.Q.}$
$6^{-2} \times 6^m=216$
$\Rightarrow 6^{-2+m}=6^3$
Comparing th exponent of both the sides, we get
$-2+m=3$
$\Rightarrow m=3+2$
$\therefore m=5$
So, $6^5$ should be multiplied.
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(b).$
