\begin{aligned}
\text{If } 3^{x-y} = 27 \text{ and } 3^{x+y} = 243, \\
\text{ then find the value of x }
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}3^{x-y} = 27 = 3^3 <=> x-y = 3 \text{... (i)}\\
3^{x+y} = 243 = 3^5 <=> x+y = 5 \text{... (ii)} \\

\text{ adding (i) and (ii)}
=> 2x = 8 \\
=> x = 4
\end{aligned}

1. \begin{aligned}
\text{if }6^m = 46656, \\\text{ What is the value of }6^{m-2}
\end{aligned}

7776
7782
1296
1290

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
6^{m-2}\\ = \dfrac{6^m}{6^2}\\ = \dfrac{46656}{6^2}\\ = \dfrac{46656}{36} = 1296
\end{aligned}

2. \begin{align}
\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{x-2} = \left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{x-7}.\\\text{ What is the value of x ?}
\end{align}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{align}&\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{x-2} = \left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{x-7}\\\\
&\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{x-2} = \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{-(x-7)}\\\\
&\Rightarrow x - 2 = -(x - 7)\\\\
&\Rightarrow x - 2 = -x + 7\\\\
&\Rightarrow x-2 = -x + 7\\\\
&\Rightarrow 2x = 9\\\\
&\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{9}{2} = 4.5
\end{align}

3. \begin{aligned} \sqrt{8}^\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}

2
4
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{2} \end{aligned}
8

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= ((8)^\frac{1}{2})^\frac{1}{3} = 8^{(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3})}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (8)^{\frac{1}{6}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (2)^{3(\frac{1}{6})}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (2)^{\frac{1}{2}}
\end{aligned}

4. \begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{1+a^{(n-m)}} + \frac{1}{1+a^{(m-n)}} = ?
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^n}{a^m} \right)} +
\frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^m}{a^n} \right)} \\
= \frac{a^m}{(a^m+a^n)} + \frac{a^n}{(a^m+a^n)} \\
= \frac{(a^m+a^n)}{(a^m+a^n)} = 1
\end{aligned}

5. Find the value of,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{216^{-\frac{2}{3}}}+\frac{1}{256^{-\frac{3}{4}}}+\frac{1}{32^{-\frac{1}{5}}}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C
