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}

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

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}

2. Find the value of
\begin{aligned} (10)^{150} \div (10)^{146} \end{aligned}

10
100
1000
10000

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{(10)^{150}}{(10)^{146}} = 10^4 = 10000
\end{aligned}

3. \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}

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. \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}
