Question Detail

If m and n are whole numbers such that
\begin{aligned} m^n=121 \end{aligned}
, the value of \begin{aligned} (m-1)^{n + 1} \end{aligned} is

  • 1
  • 10
  • 100
  • 1000

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We know that \begin{aligned} (11)^2 = 121
\end{aligned}
So, putting values in said equation we get,
\begin{aligned} (11-1)^{2 + 1} = (10)^3 = 1000 \end{aligned}

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

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4

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}

3. Evaluate \begin{aligned} 256^{0.16} \times (256)^{0.09} \end{aligned}

  • 2
  • 4
  • 8
  • 16

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{0.16+0.09} = 256^{0.25} = 256^{\frac{25}{100}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{\frac{1}{4}}= (4^4)^{\frac{1}{4}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=(4)^{4 \times \frac{1}{4}} = 4
\end{aligned}

4. Value of \begin{aligned} (256)^{\frac{5}{4}} \end{aligned}

  • 1012
  • 1024
  • 1048
  • 525

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= (256)^{\frac{5}{4}} = (4^4)^{\frac{5}{4}} = 4^5 = 1024
\end{aligned}

5. \begin{aligned}
x = 3 + 2\sqrt{2}, \text{ then the value of }\\
(\sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}})
\end{aligned}

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clue:

\begin{aligned}
(\sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}})^2 = x + \frac{1}{x} - 2 \
\end{aligned}
Now put the value of x to calculate the answer :)
